This is World's largest truck stop
This place can accommodate 1000 trucks at a time
lets go and check the facilities
This is huge
Never saw so many restaurants at one Truck stop
Its 10 am
Although I am in a new time zone so actually its 11 am
This is Indiana state
I just took shower at that truck stop
Going back to the highway towards Springfield
He is going to deliver the goods there
After that, I will start searching for a new ride
I have to reach New York
This is an Indian restaurant
It always feels good to see Indian food outside of India
This is Tiffin restaurant
Sorry I didn't get your name
Thats my father's name :)
He is from Karnal, Haryana
I met a few more people from Karnal on this trip
I always feel glad to meet Indians in a foreign country
Although its not been a long time, but we are doing good here in America
US is the epitome of India-Pakistan brotherhood
We celebrate our festivals togeather
I have a lot of friends from Pakistan
Situation in India is different
The situation created on the border... created by media... is very different from the actual one
Irony is that even we do not want to think different from what we are shown or made to think by the media
Its different in USA
Everyone lives together. Be it a Bangladeshi, Chinese, Pakistani, etc...
A common man has nothing to do with such politics
The political agenda... media... is same in India and Pakistan
This is what the Pakistanis think about their country
If we start thinking in a different manner, we will come to understand the whole game of 'hate politics'
I say I travel differently... likewise we need to think differently
The world is not exactly what we are daily shown in the mainstream media!
It is way different and positive!
People like Mr Kamal and Mr Lakhbir make me feel positive about the world
These people are the example of how we have evolved ourselves after struggles and rigorous efforts
how we have coexisted together!
This is what 'Indianism' is!
Let me tell you... Bollywood is a something which link all of us
also the cricket ... sports
but again, there is a lot of politics in Bollywood!
That should be avoided in films
We should not spread hate through our films
If you are somewhere attached with Bollywood then please think about this
Although there are a lot of good films too
For eg...Salman khan's "Tiger Zinda hai"
Indian and Pakistani soldiers fight together for a cause
That was a great message
It gave me goosebumps, when I saw Indian and Pakistan's flag unfurl at the same time
So lets begin with us
If we change ourselves
our films will change
Our politicians will change
Country will change
USA got independence in 1776
It took decades to reach the USA at this stage
We can also do that
We have to start... by doing little by little
it will happen for sure
Thanks a lot for your time
In 2015, we lost a life in every 4 minutes in road accidents in India
According to a report by WHO...
The main reasons for road accidental deaths in India are:
Overspeeding, Driving under influence, Overloading, driving without seat belt/helmet
Our main roads and highways are not access controlled
Whereas USA has a lot more automobiles than India
still they have fewer road accidents than India
why!
People like Mr Lakhbir, who are driving on these roads for 22 years, can tell us better
A lot of people in India die due to overspeeding. How about USA?
US Police is very strict
They issue you a ticket, cancel your driving license...
DMV is Department of motor vehicle in USA, like RTO in India
The test to get the driving license is very tough
They ask around 100 question in the test
You get only 3 chance to get qualified in a test
If you don't qualify, you have to pay the fees again and follow the procedure from the beginning
After passing the test you have to undergo training
Because of the tough procedure only the deserving people get the driving license in USA
This is why most of the drivers in USA are aware about the traffic rules
What will happen if you cross the speed limit?
While issuing the first driving license you are given 4 points
As you commit the first offence you will get the first ticket
After repeated offenses, If you are given 4 tickets...
your license is blocked
it is actually put on hold
you have to give the test again to get back the license
The driving License in US is valid only for 5 years
If you have never been issued a ticket, then you'll get the license delivered at your home
automatically
Tell me something about Medical test
To get a commercial driving license you need to undergo a special medical test
You can approach any qualified doctor for this purpose
If everything is ok, you will get the driving license for 2 years
if you don't undergo the medical test, you license is put on hold after the 2nd year
hold means, you might be having the license, but it will be considered invalid
so medical test after every 2 years is mandatory
Another reason of accidents in India is Overloading
Previously in India they used to allow to carry 9 tonne of load in a truck
but now this limit may be much higher than this due to much advanced trucks in India as well
How much load people used to carry in a 9 tonne truck?
20 tonnes in a 9-tonne truck!! Oh my god!!
this is why their tires burst, roads are damaged, engines are seized...
despite such damages, why do they do overload?
Truck drivers in India have to bribe officials from Police & Transport department
So to recover the loss due to this they often overload
They won't earn handsome if they follow the load limits
they have to afford running costs like fuel, maintenance, etc...
so they overload to make more money
Now you know why they do overloading!
Yes.. yes I am talking about India
Mr Lakhbir wants to make it clear that he was talking about India, not USA!
Wow! this container is so clean !
Before loading the container the truck is inspected thoroughly
If they find even a little dirt in the truck, they will refuse to load their goods
Cleanliness matters a lot
Its food
This container is so clean from inside
Today I was carrying lettuce in my truck
So how do the American system ensure that vehicles are not overloaded?
I saw poles on the highways
They are electronic weigh scales
They can measure the load inside the running vehicle
First time I saw this system in Thailand
I was hitchhiking towards Chiang Mai, the northern part of Thailand
The driver took the truck in the extreme corner lane
but didn't stop
when asked, he said that it was an electronic weigh scale.
Does not require to stop the truck to measure the load
This is a device which is a part of this system
Whenever the electronic weigh scale sense that a vehicle is overloaded...
This device starts beeping with a red flasher
then you have to take your truck to the nearest weigh scale office...
which are located at regular distances on the highways
They are administered directly by the government
They will check your vehicle again
You will be allowed if they dont find any problem
but if it is overloaded, then you will have to take the extra load out of your truck
you can not move further without removing the extra load
then and there you have to arrange a separate vehicle to carry the extra load
This is how we can use the technology to ensure the vehicles running on our highways are not overloaded
After overspeeding and overloading, drunken driving is the biggest reason of road accidents in India
how do they ensure this in USA?
Whoever is caught drunk while driving...his/her license is confiscated on the spot.
yesterday he told me an interesting thing about how the drunk drivers are caught in USA
How can the common citizen contribute to this cause?
Though this is the job of the police, still how can the citizens help in catching the drunk drivers
In USA, they have a system for this
Anyone who finds a suspicious activity on the road can inform the police
how do they inform the police?
they call 911
this is a fantastic system in this country
one number for all kind of emergencies
so you can call 911 and inform them about the suspicious vehicle and its location
911 will inform the concerned areas police
this is how the concerned vehicle will be caught
what is the Penalty for drunken driving ?
first time, License is cancelled for 1 year
with a fine of 3000 USD
also have to undergo special classes
if you are issued 3 tickets for drunken driving then your commercial license is impounded for the lifetime
the crime rate comes down when there is a fear of heavy penalties in everyone's mind
this is not a regular travel video
but I am sharing an important experience while travelling
This is what I learnt from him on this trip
Something unexpected happened again
He is Mr Vikram
Where are you from Punjab?
Let me get my bags from the other truck
He belongs to Taran Taran, near Amritsar in Punjab
He will drop me in Philadelphia, which is closer to New York
from there I can get a bus ticket to New York in just 5 USD
he is probably going to reach Philadelphia today itself
Now I am almost there... New York :)
Let me take out the bags
He is going to say thanks on my behalf
You please take rest now
We will meet again
Call me after you reach there
Sure
Thanks a lot Mr Lakhbir
convey my thanks to Mr Preet Singh also
