The economy is collapsing because of all the illegal immigrants that have invaded our country. It is just Unsustainable. Crime is through the roof And inflation is through the roof most people that I know cannot even afford to buy enough groceries to last them through the month. They are having to go to food, pantrees and churches to get enough food to feed their families !!! People are being evicted from their home's and fired from their jobs so they can give them to the Illegal aliens !!! We have Approximately one and a half million Homeless people in America right now. Many of them. Are veterans and many of them are mentally ill or addicted to elicited Substances.!! The government is not helping any of them get back on there feet !!! Instead they send Billions and Billions of taxpayers Dollars overseas to fund someone else wars !!! This is not how America should be, this is a National Disgrace and it must stop !!!

Truckers' lives have become much worse since the Neo-Cons deregulated the industry and allowed them to be treated like indentured servants. Why are so many millions of people so dreadfully ignorant?
It always amazes me how in the US people think the president is responsible for price gouging and inflation. The prices in the grocery store would have gone up even under trump, probably even more so with the tariffs he wants to add.
Covid was an opportunity for big business to gouge prices worldwide citing supply chain problems. Here in New Zealand cost of living is out of control. I suppose voters in the US have to decide between hate and retribution vs an attempt to bring the country back to actual politics instead of this. The border is a red herring. The US is a country built on immigration. Remember the immigrants are doing jobs Americans don't want to do. Los Angeles would shut down if all the "illegals" were deported.

He’s the only one that listens to the average citizen. Anywhere he’s invited he will show up and talk. Unlike Joe or Kamala who will not show up unless it’s a friendly atmosphere. They can’t handle tough questions. The Muslim mayor of Michigan was just at Trumps rally saying Trump was the only one who would listen to him when he reached out to the two candidates. You must stop watching your biased liberal media. It’s all propaganda.

As usual, British news and documentary productions are more creative with interesting camera work and strong editing. They stayed very wide for most interviews yet the sound was top quality. They must have put a wireless mic on everyone, which I couldn’t see. While most news people in England are very much to the left, this program was the “in their own words” style.

She told plenty of lies. You just refuse to see it because you are brainwashed into not thinking for yourself. She lied almost that whole entire debate. And the network also said They were not going to fact check either candidate because it is there job to fact check each other,. So the network also lied and showed their complete biased. And also Most of the fact checks they did on Trump were proven to be false. Something even Liberal networks have admitted.
Truck drivers is a huge group that is forgotten all over the world. We just go with the flow and just keep on moving on..... Like a cowboy ride away in the sunset........
So many satisfying moments captured in this powerful documentary. I hope people appreciate all the beauty of this great nation. How much is at stake and how much we have to lose. Go vote with love in your heart.
Great film. It's a fascinating insight into the views of the people who move America! On an unrelated note, 4:27: My Guy is wearing an Oldsmobile Diesel shirt. What a deep cut!
Exactly, they do not care about families at all. Musk cannot build robots fast enough to take the maga cult jobs. They were both laughing at sacking people who wanted a more decent pay. Trump has evaded tax by undervaluing his properties and stiffed ordinary workers, contractors who worked for him, he screwed ripped off students at his so called university. Wake up, get rid and move on.
People not speaking English cause trucking accidents? Doesn't appear to be an issue throughout Europe, where truck drivers cross the continent, speaking hundreds of different languages without issue.
US (and Canada) didnt ratify Convention on Road Signs and Signals in 1968, nor previous agreements eg. from 1910. Means they go for written instructions on their signs. For example: SPEED LIMIT 60 Or: LANE ENDS MERGE LEFT instead of no-brainer pictograms
I see it everyday. These non English speaking drivers depend on their GPS that's in their language and we all know how a gps can mess up. They'll even tell you on their interpreter app that they're lost..lol
I see it daily out here. Guys can't read signs, guys can't understand directions they're given. See a lot of confused foreigners tearing things up because they have no idea where they are or what they're doing. And when you try and help them out, they stare at you like you just landed from another planet!

Yeah, me too. I gave it a chance, but only got ⅔ of the way through. Their complete ignorance about WHY there is high inflation, high cost of living, high cost of fuel etc just beggars belief! I'm sick and tired of explaining it all to dozens of people online, who think the whole world revolves around Democrats and/or Republicans in America!. 😮💨😮💨
"I'm not even a Republican, I'm MAGA" That's such a weighty quote. Because Trump represents zero Republican values, and actually opposes most of them - tariffs, WTF? So that party is destroying itself for no good reason.
Almost everything that the Republicans stand for is so utterly abhorrent.... I am disgusted by Trump, but I would vote for Trump over just about any traditional Republican....
As a pretty liberal guy, pure democrat to the bone, great film. I highly value hearing other peoples opinions. They are right, they are the backbone of this country. Are they right about policies? No, but they worry about their lives and there is no shame in that. I wish we spent more time having meaningful conversations.
Rent is the most expensive monthly bill that I have. In the 1980’s, my rent for a one bedroom apartment was below $400 per month. In the 1990’s my rent on a single was $500. In 2006, my monthly rent for a single was $896. In 2024, my rent is $1000 per month. My rent doubled from the 1980’s to 2024. Whether there is a Democratic president, House of Representatives and Senate, my rent has doubled.
Have seen a lot of republicans (maga) going ape about channel 4's reporting, but these insights about how working americans feel about the election are interesting and give perspective.
Do you live because of money, or because you have a heart!? When u stop letting wealth dictate your life, your heart will make the right choice!! Love&blessings
I would stop every time I went through there. There was some beautiful trucks there. one truck had twin v8 engines. Now there is a museum with many antique trucks,
So, aside from the results of price gouging and corporate greed, how is the economy so negatively effecting truckers as a group, as people seem to be claiming?
Freight is SLOW. There's not much moving out there right now. Not like it was. The trucks only make money when they're hauling freight, and if there's no freight to haul, they're not making money. I watched the economy chug along under Trump and into probably 2021 or so. Been very slow since then, dead slow this year.
What I would like to know is what did Trump do to lower prices... They can never give me an answer on that... at least one that doesn't go in circles. or a weave as Trump puts it.
@@1jzMKIII it has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. Pre-Covid the ENTIRE WORLD had much cheaper prices, and it was much cheaper to live. Also it was several years ago, when everything would have been cheaper anyway! Plus post-Covid the cost of living for EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD has gone up massively! Kamala Harris also pointed out that the stimulus checks that were given out by the government during Covid, (again, across the world, by various governments) actually had Trump's signature printed on them! That was a sly move!!! So in MAGA's mind, he was personally giving them money! 🙄
As an Australian I think the candidate who doesn’t want to deport millions of people or speak about being “a dictator for a day” deserves to win. There are far too many warning signs with Trump, and the US needs to ensure he never gets power again.
What do these people mean by remaining a free country? Do they mean a lawless country when everybody’s carrying weapons and if you get in an argument the fastest one to shoot wins. When you can be corrupt and be convicted and not have to go to jail, is that what you mean by being free well, FU.
@@citizen1l Before each presidents policies can have any effect, it would take at least 18-24 months. Yeah trumps economy was good because he inheritted a good econmy as well. Then he blew it with covid response and gave biden a shitty economy, the economy now is better then it was in 2021.
Great film, and it's great to see real Americans' opinions, and it just shows that it doesn't matter if you're red and blue. Everyone just wants everyone to get along and love each other. just like here in the UK tbh, i'm neither red nor blue tbh, because politicians just want to divide us, watch us fight, and get all the rewards. I hope whoever gets into office, that its the people who win.

As usual, British news and documentary productions are more creative with interesting camera work and strong editing. They stayed very wide for most interviews yet the sound was top quality. They must have put a wireless mic on everyone, which I couldn’t see. While most news people in England are very much to the left, this program was the “in their own words” style.
They didn't fact check her because she didn't tell any lies with big shiny bells on them. Mindboggling how anyone thinks that guy is fit to be anything higher than a toilet cleaner.
She told lots of whoppers, including but not limiting to "no troops are deployed into combat zones". She lied about the "bipartisan border bill".
@@micclay Hate to tell you this but it's all MAGA talking points..
@@davetruth_ if that means they're blatant obvious lies, I agree with you.
@@micclay The Russians have no problems spreading propaganda when the republicans have pumped it up to a lower standard..All right wingers are crazy.I remember Jan. 6 and he shouldn't be allowed to be a dogcatcher. Much less a President of the best country in the history of the world..Even if he does say it's garbage..ps RW are lying to you..ps They have an agenda..Project 2025..
She told plenty of lies. You just refuse to see it because you are brainwashed into not thinking for yourself. She lied almost that whole entire debate. And the network also said They were not going to fact check either candidate because it is there job to fact check each other,. So the network also lied and showed their complete biased. And also Most of the fact checks they did on Trump were proven to be false. Something even Liberal networks have admitted.
heartwarming ,there are still good caring people out there .
Truck drivers is a huge group that is forgotten all over the world. We just go with the flow and just keep on moving on.....
Like a cowboy ride away in the sunset........
So many satisfying moments captured in this powerful documentary. I hope people appreciate all the beauty of this great nation. How much is at stake and how much we have to lose. Go vote with love in your heart.
America is truly one of a kind.
Realizing one thing they are are all blaming the government and not themselves for anything 😮
So what is their fault?
Trains don’t pull up to the grocery store love that line
Great film. It's a fascinating insight into the views of the people who move America!
On an unrelated note, 4:27: My Guy is wearing an Oldsmobile Diesel shirt. What a deep cut!
That was me lol
Trump is partnered with Elon Musk who is going to automate truck driving jobs.
Exactly, they do not care about families at all. Musk cannot build robots fast enough to take the maga cult jobs. They were both laughing at sacking people who wanted a more decent pay. Trump has evaded tax by undervaluing his properties and stiffed ordinary workers, contractors who worked for him, he screwed ripped off students at his so called university. Wake up, get rid and move on.
Oh no when ?
Where the f do you get your news!? Do you drive truck? If so you know the Kameltoe want to do away with fossil fuels right!?
@@jackreacher6473He's going all in on his Robotaxi, truck driving jobs are next.
Kamala is partnered with George Soros and there is not going to be any society to have a truck driving job.
People not speaking English cause trucking accidents? Doesn't appear to be an issue throughout Europe, where truck drivers cross the continent, speaking hundreds of different languages without issue.
US (and Canada) didnt ratify Convention on Road Signs and Signals in 1968, nor previous agreements eg. from 1910.
Means they go for written instructions on their signs.
For example:
SPEED
LIMIT
60
Or:
LANE
ENDS
MERGE
LEFT
instead of no-brainer pictograms
They drive rates down for American truckers. They must go home. Pete butijidge commanded English requirements not be enforced.
I see it everyday. These non English speaking drivers depend on their GPS that's in their language and we all know how a gps can mess up. They'll even tell you on their interpreter app that they're lost..lol
I see it daily out here. Guys can't read signs, guys can't understand directions they're given. See a lot of confused foreigners tearing things up because they have no idea where they are or what they're doing. And when you try and help them out, they stare at you like you just landed from another planet!
Real Truckers don't wash their truck with the window squeegee or wear Flip Flops!
Bone head truckers do! 🤣
Yet they get cargo from one point to the other.
That counts for something, does it not.
@@masterq2.033 real Truckers wash their truck in a Truck wash not with a window squeegee! Just like people shouldn't wash their car with a window squeegee to make the wash so dirty the next person can't use it. . It's like using Toilet paper and putting in the Hand towel dispenser or the hand towels for AW it's disgusting!
Greetings from the NYC…..Great report…thank you… we need more connection to our fellow Americans in the Heartland…. Thank you for your service, we appreciate you guys…..
Your hard work will always turn our country around!
Well done video
So many falsehoods and misunderstandings from those shown in this video.
pure ignorance was shown in this video .
Name them.
Hi. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful man with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺
Good video, make more of these.
I just know watching this is going to depress me....
EDIT: Yep, I was right.
Only people voting for Democrats are trans and illegal migrants
It was painful to watch
Yeah, me too.
I gave it a chance, but only got ⅔ of the way through. Their complete ignorance about WHY there is high inflation, high cost of living, high cost of fuel etc just beggars belief! I'm sick and tired of explaining it all to dozens of people online, who think the whole world revolves around Democrats and/or Republicans in America!. 😮💨😮💨
I’m not even a republican I’m MAGA…….😂😂😂😂
YEP that’s a well informed person
Me too
LOL, MAGA is not well informed...they stay in their own echo chamber.
Great piece of journalism
Best video you ever made!!!
This is surreal to see a documentary about a location that is a significant part of my life growing up as a teenager is eastern Iowa.
"I'm not even a Republican, I'm MAGA"
That's such a weighty quote. Because Trump represents zero Republican values, and actually opposes most of them - tariffs, WTF? So that party is destroying itself for no good reason.
Almost everything that the Republicans stand for is so utterly abhorrent....
I am disgusted by Trump, but I would vote for Trump over just about any traditional Republican....
He took over the Republican party & made them his beach. 🤷🏽♂️
😂😂😂😂😂
@@losmalqueridos2009 yes he did.
he is a typical republican, he just exposed himself and them
If she wasn’t my daughter, I’d be dating her…… do you remember? Trump is so disgusting
As a pretty liberal guy, pure democrat to the bone, great film. I highly value hearing other peoples opinions. They are right, they are the backbone of this country. Are they right about policies? No, but they worry about their lives and there is no shame in that. I wish we spent more time having meaningful conversations.
Can drivers please stop washing your trucks with the windshield squeegees please and thank you
VERY NICELY DONE! THANK YOU!!!
Rent is the most expensive monthly bill that I have. In the 1980’s, my rent for a one bedroom apartment was below $400 per month. In the 1990’s my rent on a single was $500. In 2006, my monthly rent for a single was $896. In 2024, my rent is $1000 per month. My rent doubled from the 1980’s to 2024. Whether there is a Democratic president, House of Representatives and Senate, my rent has doubled.
What a beautiful video, so impressed👏🏾
As a truck driver myself, these are literally the only truck drivers that I know that are voting for Harris.
This is real Americana. Graet stuff.

I would watch a whole series of this, top level documentary
Have seen a lot of republicans (maga) going ape about channel 4's reporting, but these insights about how working americans feel about the election are interesting and give perspective.

Do you live because of money, or because you have a heart!? When u stop letting wealth dictate your life, your heart will make the right choice!!
Love&blessings
Thank you drivers
Thank you truckers for keeping America moving. You guys are the heart n soul of this great country 💘
Thanks for posting
hahaha mind boggling that they are trusting a con artist😄😄😄
Great video!
I would stop every time I went through there. There was some beautiful trucks there. one truck had twin v8 engines. Now there is a museum with many antique trucks,
Well done
Well done!
Hi George how are you doing today 🌸 I hope all is going well with you💐🌹
Great film. Particularly liked the cinematography
We need truckers, , welders, doctors, dentists, builders, plumbers, farmers, manufacturers, etc, etc, we all suffer in this economy.
The statement the lady made , “everybody is struggling” is so right!
So, aside from the results of price gouging and corporate greed, how is the economy so negatively effecting truckers as a group, as people seem to be claiming?
As a truck driver myself, these are literally the only truck drivers that I know that are voting for Harris.
@ funny… I thought that they were all voting for Trump.
Freight is SLOW. There's not much moving out there right now. Not like it was. The trucks only make money when they're hauling freight, and if there's no freight to haul, they're not making money. I watched the economy chug along under Trump and into probably 2021 or so. Been very slow since then, dead slow this year.
As a truck driver myself it's not a job it's a way of life
What a great part of America
Good day, how are you doing today 🌸 i hope all is well with you 🌹💐💐
Ive been trucking since 87,, id vote trump twice if i could 🇺🇸
It's literally the third time he has run. If you've already voted for him twice, you're good. Stay home.
I would like to understand what Biden did that makes these truckers worse off
What I would like to know is what did Trump do to lower prices... They can never give me an answer on that... at least one that doesn't go in circles. or a weave as Trump puts it.
@@1jzMKIII it has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. Pre-Covid the ENTIRE WORLD had much cheaper prices, and it was much cheaper to live. Also it was several years ago, when everything would have been cheaper anyway! Plus post-Covid the cost of living for EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD has gone up massively!
Kamala Harris also pointed out that the stimulus checks that were given out by the government during Covid, (again, across the world, by various governments) actually had Trump's signature printed on them! That was a sly move!!! So in MAGA's mind, he was personally giving them money! 🙄
Send money to Ukraine.
This is Awesome 🇺🇸❤️
Real people.. No politician anywhere is currently worthy of our vote. And I’m a Brit. Good luck folks, we all need it now
As an Australian I think the candidate who doesn’t want to deport millions of people or speak about being “a dictator for a day” deserves to win. There are far too many warning signs with Trump, and the US needs to ensure he never gets power again.
What do these people mean by remaining a free country? Do they mean a lawless country when everybody’s carrying weapons and if you get in an argument the fastest one to shoot wins. When you can be corrupt and be convicted and not have to go to jail, is that what you mean by being free well, FU.
Let me guess... They love Trump??
So sad that many of these people don’t understand how inflation works and the fact it will get worse with Trump’s tariffs riddled economy!
Look, letting the PRC into the WTO in December 2001 is seen by many after 20+ years as a mistake. Where is the perspective?
Inflation will get worse under Harris
In 10 years, even trucking will be locked out as a job for the poorly educated.
God bless america!😊
Never heard so much sense at a truck stop !
Well done film.
These people have got to stop thanking trump for Obamas economy, and blaming Biden for trumps.
The economy during a presidents term bellongs to them simple
Just like the border, Democrats destroy everything they touch.
@@citizen1l Evidently not.
@@citizen1l Before each presidents policies can have any effect, it would take at least 18-24 months. Yeah trumps economy was good because he inheritted a good econmy as well. Then he blew it with covid response and gave biden a shitty economy, the economy now is better then it was in 2021.
@@citizen1lthats not having how the economy works
Great film, and it's great to see real Americans' opinions, and it just shows that it doesn't matter if you're red and blue. Everyone just wants everyone to get along and love each other. just like here in the UK tbh, i'm neither red nor blue tbh, because politicians just want to divide us, watch us fight, and get all the rewards. I hope whoever gets into office, that its the people who win.
its a very hard life but a good life and i do it every day and do it for my family and as well as others.

Most of these so called drivers dont even have a cb . Cant read a map or signs feet up on the dash . Automatic drivers glorified car drivers .homeless people in trucks im sick of this industry 36 years and man its change for the worst. Not fun anymore
