BIG RIG is a portrait of modern America as seen through the eyes of long-haul truck drivers. Spanning 21,000 miles, 45 states, and dozens of truck stops, this film delves deeply into the lives and struggles of these working-class heroes, who literally carry the nation upon their backs. Drivers face skyrocketing gas prices, government interference, corporate take-over of their industry, and a highly unsympathetic public full of "four-wheelers" who more often give the finger than the right-of-way.

"BIG RIG is a morally immersive embrace of the life of the trucker, not some Hollywood celebration of good ol' boys on the road. Watch this movie, meet these very real people, and you'll never look at a passing 18-wheeler the same way again.”
