Kms Of India - Life of a bare HCV chasis driver


Heat wave, cold wave, rain, hailstorm, blizzard, day, night, dry roads, flooded roads, smooth expressways, broken state highways ..... the drivers in open cabins with barely a canvas canopy (or even nothing at all) brave it all to earn a rightful living for themselves and their dear ones at home. Life is not same for everyone. We crib even after having all possible comforts in life. 

On his drive from Bangalore to Goa in August 2023 with wife, Indian Roadie Sriram Shankar spotted the driver of a new Ashok Leyland chasis who was driving it from the factory to some dealer to some unknown location, sleeping on the floor of the chasis. Neither was there a comfortable mattress nor was there any fancy pillow. 

Let's thank almighty for whatever material comfort or infrastructure we have and not crib.

Kms Of India (#KmsOfIndia) is one of the associated forums of #IndianRoadie to drive home the point that driving is not only about reaching Point B from Point A. A true roadtripper enjoys every kilometre of India. There's a lot to learn from every kilometre of India.
