From $110K to Living in a Truck: What Happened to America’s Truckers? They keep America running… but can’t afford to live. Truckers used to be one of the most stable, middle-class careers in the country—earning six figures, supporting families, and going home at night. Now? Many are working 12–14+ hours a day, living out of their trucks, and barely scraping by. So what changed? In this video, we break down: * How deregulation in 1980 reshaped the entire industry * Why truckers are exempt from overtime pay * How owner-operators carry massive costs while profits shrink * The rise of surveillance, tight regulations, and impossible schedules * Why “cheap shipping” came at a massive human cost This isn’t just about trucking. It’s about what happens when an entire industry shifts—and the people holding it up get left behind. “If you bought it… a truck brought it.” So why are the people who move everything… struggling to survive? https://rumble.com/v798vb6-from-110k-to-living-in-a-truck-what-happened-to-americas-truckers.html #Trucking #Truckers #TruckDriverLife #BlueCollar #WorkingClass #AmericanJobs #SupplyChain #Logistics #Freight #OwnerOperator #OTRLife #LifeOnTheRoad #HardWork #Overworked #Politics #MiddleClass #Economy #Deregulation #Labor #WorkersRights #News #Surveillance #BigBusiness #CorporateAmerica #CostOfLiving #Inflation #StrugglingWorkers #RealStories #NewsAnalysis #America
