Today, Nothing Without Trucking Films launched the first episode of a new documentary series titled DRIVEN, which features trucking professionals who keep the nation rolling.
The trailer for the series was unveiled on June 23 on Nothing Without Trucking’s YouTube channel. Two more episodes are scheduled to air following the release of today’s series premiere on Monday, July 21, and Monday, August 4.
DRIVEN was produced by the American Trucking Associations in association with ACT 1 and the Texas Trucking Association Foundation. The videos are part of ATA's Nothing Without Trucking campaign, which educates policymakers and the public about the 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, according to ATA.
“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. “This industry touches lives in every community and corner of our country — from the North Slope of Alaska, to the rolling hills of New England, to the streets of South Dallas."
DRIVEN’s pilot episodes deliver a journey chronicling the lives of three professional truck drivers who keep America moving. They include Roland Bolduc, Tammy Hargraves, and Germany Williams.
Later this year, the series plans to profile the vast ecosystem and intricate network of roles throughout the trucking industry that work in tandem to move the U.S. economy.
