Speaking to The 21st Show, Steve Wilmert, a Springfield-based truck driver, shares his thoughts on truck drivers’ role during the pandemic. 

“I realize what truck driving does for the economy as a whole,” he says. “I’ve always had the opinion everyone’s essential one way or another… everybody plays a part.”
