Transforming Lives on India's Highways: What The Truck by Trucknetic
Hardships Faced by Truckers
India’s economy hums because of the silent heroes behind the wheel – the 2 million truck drivers carrying lifeblood on 60% of the nation’s freight. Yet, their plight remains unseen, marred by long hours, low wages, and a lack of respect. What The Truck (WTT), a social initiative by TruckNRtic, stands on the frontline, fighting for a brighter future for every Indian driver.
We believe in a world where they are safe, prosperous, and valued.
Trapped in Time
The Grind of Long Hours: Driving for up to 300 days a year, 14 hours a day, leaves little room for life beyond the road. This relentless strain impacts health, safety, and family bonds.
A Dollar Short
The Struggle for Fair Wages: Unstable income, delayed payments, and exploitation by middlemen create financial insecurity, keeping drivers trapped in a cycle of hardship.
Highway Hazards
The Fear of Unseen Dangers: Poorly maintained trucks, treacherous roads, and reckless driving make every mile a gamble with safety. Lack of insurance leaves them vulnerable in case of accidents.
Respect Denied
The Stigma of the Open Road: Society often overlooks the crucial role truckers play, viewing them with indifference or even disdain. This lack of recognition adds to their emotional burden
Health Ignored
The Toll of a Grueling Job: Muscle pain, vision problems, and sleep disorders are prevalent, but drivers prioritize work over health due to financial constraints and limited access to medical care.
Future Uncertain
The Looming Driver Shortage: Demoralized by these challenges, many drivers leave the profession, jeopardizing the entire logistics sector. A thriving trucking industry needs a thriving driver community.
