Truck Drivers is the story of an indispensable profession, but also of an economic and logistical system under strain. It’s a story of exploitation, fierce competition, and an equilibrium that has spiraled out of control. Every day, thousands of trucks crisscross Europe’s roads to deliver the products we consume without a second thought. This immense and often invisible supply chain is, nonetheless, essential to our daily lives. But this vital sector is in crisis: already, 230,000 drivers are missing across Europe, a number that could exceed 700,000 in the coming years. Embark on a truck journey across Europe and discover the stories of those whose work connects us every day. A profession that, on its own, has the power to paralyze all of Europe.
