Truckers and a US election at the World's Largest Truck Stop

We hear from some of the community as they pass through Iowa 80 - the World's Largest Truck Stop - where talk of the economy, immigration, trouble at the border and fears for the future of the United States dominate; issues that helped hand Donald Trump the Presidency.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris spent months zig-zagging the United States this Presidential election campaign, hoping to convince voters to back their bid for the White House.

Meanwhile America's truckers made crucial journeys of their own, transporting the goods, machinery and supplies that keep the US economy functioning.

As Harris and Trump went head-to-head in their one and only debate match-up we made a stop on one America’s busiest highways and visited a truck stop claiming to be the largest in the world - Iowa 80 in Walcott.

Thousands of the nearly three and a half million US truck drivers stop in Iowa every day. Men and women who work long hours and spend months on the road at a time. They stress relationships with friends and families and strain their bodies and health to keep America moving.
