@Work: A Port Truck Driver Tries to Get By
Posted on 11. Dec, 2009 by Christian Yarnell in @Work
Jose, a truck driver from Elizabeth, New Jersey, has for the last four years worked at the seaports of New York and New Jersey. Jose talks about the difficult working conditions for port truckers. Jose asked that we not use his last name because he feared retribution from his boss or from port employees, on whose good graces his livelihood depends.
Chris, I know this was difficult, but it was worth it. Jose’s voice feels very real and it is exactly what this podcast is about: work. There is no poetry here, just hard work.
