Description About 70 percent of all goods transported in the United States are transported by trucks. Truck drivers are responsible for transporting food and other products across the country to the people who need them. They work long hours and need to have special training to drive their huge trucks. Truck drivers keep businesses going and make sure we get the things we need. Instructive, colorful photographs of truck drivers on the job help readers make meaningful connections to the informative and fun narrative.
