Jason “Freight Train” Jenkins, a trucker with over two decades of experience, embarked on his record-breaking journey from Los Angeles, California to New York City on Monday. Traveling non-stop for an astonishing 72 hours, Jenkins logged over 3,000 miles in his rig without a single break. The truck, a 10-axle, 18-wheeler, was loaded with over 80,000 pounds of freight. Jenkins faced grueling conditions along the way, including treacherous mountain passes, heavy traffic, and blinding storms. However, he remained focused and determined to complete the haul within the record-breaking time frame. As Jenkins neared New York City, he encountered an unexpected obstacle. A major highway was closed due to an accident, forcing him to take a lengthy detour. Unfazed, Jenkins continued his journey, adding hours to his already exhausting shift. Finally, after 72 hours, 15 minutes, and 47 seconds, Jenkins pulled his rig into a receiving facility in Queens, New York. The crowd that had gathered to witness his historic achievement erupted in applause and cheers. The previous record for the longest single-shift haul stood at 67 hours, set by a trucker in 2019. Jenkins’s accomplishment not only surpasses that mark but also establishes a new standard for truck drivers. “It was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done,” said Jenkins after completing his record-breaking haul. “But I was determined to push myself to the limits and make history.” Experts in the trucking industry have praised Jenkins’s achievement, highlighting his exceptional endurance, skill, and unwavering dedication. The record-breaking haul underscores the vital role that truck drivers play in the transportation of goods across the nation.
