A new series, Driven, produced by the American Trucking Associations, highlights the stories of professional drivers and the critical role trucking plays in keeping America’s supply chain moving.
Driven was produced in association with ACT 1 and the Texas Trucking Association Foundation as part of its Nothing Without Trucking campaign, which educates policymakers and the public about the indispensable role trucking plays in Americans’ lives.
Beginning with professional drivers, the series plans to document the vast array of roles throughout trucking that come together to form an unbreakable bond in the U.S. supply chain.
“We believe trucking has storytelling potential that few other industries can match,” said Jeremy Kirkpatrick, ATA’s vice president of public affairs and strategic communications.
“These stories need to be told – not only to celebrate the skill, resilience, and humanity of these incredible pros who run the nation’s supply chains, but also to ensure trucking always has a seat at the table when government officials are making decisions that affect our industry and the broader economy.”
"Driven’s" pilot episodes deliver a compelling journey chronicling the lives of three extraordinary professional truck drivers who keep America moving. The series plans to expand its aperture to profile the vast ecosystem and intricate network of roles throughout the trucking industry that work in tandem to move the U.S. economy.
