Why Is The Trucking Industry Changing?

During the pandemic the trucking industry struggled due to loss of drivers. Now the industry is picking back up as driver enrollment increases.

Manny Guzman's life on the road is a far cry from his long days four years ago when the father of one was taking orders for wedding cakes and pastries at a bakery in Chicago. 

"I worked 16 hours a day, seven days a week — there was no day off," said Guzman. "I got my license and I was lucky enough to get a job with this company that does flatbed haul steel." 

Manny is part of a new breed of truckers that's critical to the rapidly-changing backbone of American commerce.
