Issam was the sweetest colleague. He let me take a kitten I was nursing on assignment once, and made it a bed in his helmet. But he always reminded me, whenever I got careless: “Our goal is to cover the news, not become it”. I am so sorry this happened to you my dear Issam. RIP.

Early in the Covid pandemic, supply shortages and delivery delays created a desperate need for drivers, and in-turn a financial opportunity for them.
Now, however, truckers aren’t reaping the same financial benefits post-pandemic.
