It is safe to say that without trucks and truckers, a country such as the United States would not have enjoyed the growth and prosperity that it has had.

While the country is not completely reliant of trucking to transport goods and products today as it was in the past, it still plays a very important role in reaching consumers. Stores still need products to sell to the public. The way that products are delivered to the stores is still via trucks. Manufacturers sell products to the stores who send them to their distribution centers, which in turn sends them to individual stores.
