I got into truck driving in 2015 after being unable to find a job in New York journalism. As a driver, I felt the sting of hardship, but driving a big-rig back and forth across America also had its moments of elation. I wanted to try to capture some of the mystery of that life, and that is why I made this book of photos, which were all made with a smartphone and first published on Instagram (@andycohenpix).
