About the Show
Truck drivers are essential workers that often transport much needed supplies and commodities over many days on the road, yet little is known about the challenges they face along the way.
For the first time, CNA tracks three long-haul drivers across China and India as they take on treacherous terrain and high-altitude mountain passes to deliver essential goods. On the road, they end up risking their lives, battling fatigue and extreme weather conditions.
