People see trucks on the highway every day, relying on them for every item in their homes. As a professional driver, Joshua Hogue knows the rhythms of the highway system, playing a crucial role in getting products of all descriptions to where they need to be.

Most ‘four-wheel drivers’ treat these powerful machines like blocks of metal, cutting them off or ignoring blind spots. Seeing these dangers from his cab seat, Joshua has a uniquely thorough understanding of what would help keep people safe, as he shares the truth about life on the open road.

🎯 GROWTH STORY [02:21]:

"The love of the open road, just being out there, being able to see things and getting pretty much paid to sightsee."

The job offers a unique way to see the country. Hear the story of Joshua’s childhood dream.

🎯 PRACTICAL FACT [12:11]:

"Roughly, I would say 99.9% of the freight is hauled because even if it's shipped on rail on a train, it still has to be loaded into a truck and taken to a warehouse."

Trucks move every product in a store, making them the heart of the national supply chain.

🎯 CRITICAL REVEAL [24:59]:

"I've seen people in cars reading books, playing on their phone, eating a bowl of cereal with no hands on the steering wheel."

People forget semi-trucks need more space to stop. Joshua reminds everyone of the danger of distracted drivers on the highway.
