Amid a record driver shortage, Indian-American Sikhs are taking to trucking

Mar 7, 2019

Mintu Pandher sits inside the cab of his rig at the truck stop he bought a few years ago in southeastern Wyoming. He joined the industry because it was a blue-collar job that didn’t interfere with his Sikh beliefs and traditions.
