Punjabis And Their Rise as an Indian-origin Trucking Community in the U.S.
The dominance of Punjabis, ergo the Sikhs in the trucking sector is so profound that it is now a running stereotype in India which gets translated into interjections in Bollywood such as the video below.
The U.S. trucking industry is so massive that not only does it cater to myriads of different verticals, but also houses different ethnicities under its roof, who are part of the industry as truckers, owner-operators, fleet owners, and even as people in gas stations, truck stops, and maintenance sheds. In this mix, the Punjabis or rather the Sikh population have built themselves a bastion in the North American trucking market that is second to none.
