The new face of California truckers is now a Sikh face after’ The Economist’ reported that Sikhs control about 40% of the trucking industry of California.

The Punjabi community also dominates the Canadian trucking industry where industry experts estimate that about 60% of the Canadian trucking industry is controlled by people of Punjabis origin.

Nachattar Singh Chohan is the founder and president of the Indian Trucking Association of Canada who told the TOI:

“We Punjabis control more than 60% of all trucking operations in Canada. There is a perpetual shortage of truck drivers and mechanics and new Punjabi immigrants fill this need,” says Chohan who came to Canada in 1980 from Budhi Pind near Hoshiarpur in Punjab.

“When I started my own company in the mid-1990s, there were only a few Indians in this business. Punjabis are famous for one thing if one starts something, everyone follows him. That’s how they have entered the trucking business here and virtually taken over it,” says Chohan who operates his own fleet of truck-trailers under the name of CH TransX
