When you order something on the internet the all consuming thought of “when will my precious piece of merchandise reach my doorstep?” is what goes through every Americans mind.   Most people don’t think about the fact that your purchase is most likely traveling from another state thanks to a hard working truck driver. Without these drivers, many of the billion dollar corporations would not be able to function and America would be extremely different or not exist at all.  Truck drivers make low wages and often work extreme hours so that all the parts of a car can be assembled at a plant or so you can get your Amazon package in record time. Many drivers do jobs over the course of days and only stop to eat, sleep in their trucks, and use the restroom. Also, this is an industry dominated by men but there over 200,000 women who defy the norm in the United States and help thousands of businesses function every day.
