Mr. Gandhi engaged in a conversation with the drivers from two different nations. Thus, he was able to know what are the conditions in the two countries. While Indian drivers are getting bare minimum as truck drivers, truck drivers in the United States get decent wages to support life.
Indian drivers do not get much respect in the profession but American drivers get respect in society. They are able to live a dignified life. The American trucks are designed keeping in mind the comfort of the drivers, whereas the Indian trucks lack the comfort point.
