Chapter 118:

The most directly affected individuals by the downturn in the real economy were perhaps the truck drivers. When companies went under, there was no longer a demand for logistics, leading to unemploynt for truck drivers.

The more companies that went bankrupt, the more truck drivers beca unemployed, and this kind of unemploynt was different from that of regular workers.

Regular workers could still seek other jobs after losing their jobs, and if lucky, could still find a way to make a living. But for truck drivers, without new logistics demand, job opportunities would only decrease, not increase.

This also ant that once truck drivers beca unemployed, it was very difficult for them to find suitable jobs, even if they lowered their salary requirents.

Truck drivers were a special group; they could be categorized as part of the working class, but clearly, the workers were not willing to accept this group of truck drivers who earned higher wages, had better benefits, and had relatively easy jobs.

Similarly, truck drivers were unwilling to mix with sweaty workers, especially because they had their "exclusive vehicles."

This also resulted in a lack of attention from the Workers' Union regarding the issue of truck drivers' unemploynt. If they could take advantage of the situation and organize a protest, they would certainly do so. However, if they couldn't, they would simply feign ignorance of the matter.

In fact, the work of truck drivers was not only hard but also dangerous.

Even today, there were still many highway bandits active on intercontinental highways, and the hundreds or thousands of kiloters of uninhabited highways were like a journey through hell for every truck driver, with each trip dancing on the edge of life.

One small mistake, and they could die on the road at any mont, with their trucks taken away by others, leaving behind nothing but a pile of bones soon to be integrated into nature.

So when truck drivers hit the road, they often traveled in convoys, especially on intercontinental routes, where even two or three trucks running together were still very dangerous, often with five or more trucks together.

They wouldn't stop if sothing happened on the road; they would just plow through. So don't expect to flag down trucks on intercontinental highways, let alone try to force them to stop.

But were all big truck drivers good people?

Obviously not. In the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on highway murder cases in the past, most of the murder cases related to highways were more or less related to big truck drivers.

The most famous case was the "Highway Serial Killings
