When most kids his age are playing video games or riding bikes, 9-year-old Jack dreams of driving a big rig across the country. He loves the sound of the engine, the size of the wheels, and the freedom of the open road. Jack wants to be a truck driver when he grows up, and he's not alone.

According to a recent survey, the trucking industry will need to hire over 1.1 million new drivers by 2029 to keep up with demand. That means there will be plenty of opportunities for young people like Jack who are passionate about trucking.
