1.7 million men and women work as long-haul drivers in the U.S. Yet #truckers — high up in their cabs — are literally out of view for most Americans. Truck driving, once a road to the middle class, is now low-paying, grinding, unhealthy work. So why do drivers do it? The photographer @george_etheredge took this photo at a Petro truck stop in Effingham, Illinois — a neon-lit, blacktop oasis at the crossroads of America. It beckons big-rig drivers with showers, laundry machines, a barber shop, even a knife store. “Professional drivers only,” reads the sign above the tables of the Iron Skillet restaurant, where truckers sit mostly alone, carrying the solitude of their jobs into an otherwise social setting. Watch our Instagram Story to hear from some of the truckers our journalists met over 2 days at the truck stop.
