Trucking is responsible for most of the overland freight movement in the United States, with the market being worth $732.3 billion. The U.S. employs an estimated 8.9 million people in trucking-related jobs; nearly 3.5 million are truck drivers. Driving large tractor-trailers or delivery trucks is one of the largest occupations in the United States. The forecast for the trucking industry by the American Trucking Association predicts freight tonnage in the U.S. to grow 24%.
Although many truckers work a regular 40-hour workweek, almost half of truckers work longer hours. As Indianapolis is in the middle of the state which is known as the Crossroads to America, you can expect a lot of trucks crisscrossing the Hoosier state. These truckers need a place to refuel and rest.
