History of Truck Drivers
Our Truck Drivers Are National Heroes, and its Time India Treats Them as Such.
Truck drivers thus attracted the best amongst men, the most hardworking, responsible, honest, physically fit and ambitious. The drivers treated their trucks as their homes. They would sleep in it, cook in it and also entertain their friends in the truck.
They made a decent income as per the living standards back then, and they worked hard for it by driving 10 to 12 hours per day.
How It Started
After independence, India needed strong military trucks fast. Buying from other countries was too expensive. So, India made its own. The Shaktiman truck was built with help from Germany’s MAN SE. It was a proud statement — India can make trucks that last long and work hard. VFJ made over 75,000 of them. Though first for the military, it also helped in construction, freight, and heavy transport.
The Shaktiman truck is India’s legendary heavy-duty vehicle, built in 1959, known for its toughness, reliability, and versatility for military and civilian use.
