- Palwinder Singh came to America from Patiala, India in 2001, and is one of the 138,000 truck drivers in California. He said the job appealed to him because it gave him independence, including the ability to grow out his beard and wear a turban on the job. (video by Claire Hannah Collins).

I remember when my truck lost coolant and some Sikh driver at the rest area hand me a brand new antifreeze container.I got nothing but love for them.
Well lucky you. As a female driver I asked 2 for some help with my truck and they turned away. POS
@@sierrajade63 female drivers rock too!
Nice sarcasm
@@sierrajade63 they don’t help blks
I remember when one tried to pass me in a construction zone and nearly crashed into me. They're awful drivers and rude, arrogant people.
Sikhs are very honorable people. As a driver myself, I commend him
@@_manpreet_ The man is helping portray Sikhism in a positive light. You are not.
@@lakhbirsingh5738 oh! so wht do u think guru gobind singh ji is doing. nobody can portray Sikhism better than guru gobind singh ji. the man in video is Breaking the 1st Rule of Sikhism :" Do not Cut your hair under any circumstances".
How can a person represent or portray something if he himself is not following it. how can u say that he is presenting a positive image of sikhism? do not encourage these fraud guys. What will happen if all the sikh parents started cutting their children's hair? there will be no sikh left, and u will be held responsible for that extinction of Sikhism because u encouraged people like these to cut their children's hair without even consenting the giver of these hair (guru gobind singh ji).
Guru Gobind Singh ji sacrificed his whole family and thousands of followers to protect this legacy of Sikhism and it hurts me to see that the purpose for which he sacrificed his whole family is destroyed by his very own followers.
TIP: The man in video is disloyal to Sikhism & its principles and he will be excommunicated soon
@@_manpreet_ 50% of all Sikh men even in India do not wear a turban due to "fashion". I have served 9 years in the military and I can tell you their dress code is unnegotiable. Religion is not the military. Everyone does his or her best. Compared to others this man is doing good. Give him credit.
@@_manpreet_ You sound like a religious zealot. The type you find in every religion. You are like the type of muslim zealots that persecuted Guru Gobind Singh and fellow Sikhs in their day. You have become the very thing you swore to destroy.
@@lakhbirsingh5738 just tell me how can someone destroy the one thing they believe in ? iam a sikh i keep my hair and tie turban. so how am i destroying sikhism? u r the one who is destroying sikhism by encouraging sikhs to cut their hair even when the sikh gurus mentioned clearly ' any sikh who cuts their hair, cuts a part of me'
so tell me why are you committing the crime of cutting a part of sikh gurus?
u are playing with religious sentiments of other people without even knowing a bit of sikh history. Just go and ask ur mom to teach u something about sikhism( if ur mom is alive). Do some research on this subject and then we will talk like civilized people. tell me why does it bother u so much if i spoke the truth i know the truth can be hurtful but looks like u were hurted the most. why are u afraid of facing the truth. embrace the truth and face it that u are wrong. if this doesn't satisfy u just answer my following questions-
1) is it the 1st rule of sikhism to ' NOT CUT HAIR' ?
2) Did Sikhs Really Died while preventing the Muslims from cutting their hair?
3) Meaning of 5K in sikhism and what is in the top position in 5K?
4) Why do Many Sikhs consider their hair as Sacred?
5) What happens to a sikh who cuts his hair and to the people who supported his decision?
Just Answer these Questions with the proper Facts. i don't wanna listen to your personal bullshit.
I live south of Seattle - MANY Sikhs live in our area. The stereotype is correct - They’re very very good people.
If being "Good People" is a stereo type then I can think of no better label someone could place on me.
@Human Being They *are* Americans.
They might be good, maybe even excellent people, but trucking industry is being hurt by that cheap labor
@@kurtrichter292 As an Indian living in India, I'm in no position to comment on the state of the trucking industry in the US.
However, here's a question - are there enough truck drivers in America? I understand trucking is a tough profession; it takes one far away from home and family and causes a significant amount of fatigue. This is perhaps why not a lot of locals are willing to drive trucks, and the reason immigrants are able to become truck drivers. Sikhs, in general, are a hardworking and industrious community; they're held in great regard in India.
These are only conjectures. I could be entirely wrong; feel free to correct me if I am. Much respect to you from India.
@Human Being Here in India, Sikhs are considered great soldiers and military officers. They can definitely endure the rigors of trucking. Unlike the Amish, who undoubtedly are hardworking and industrious, Sikhs don't form separate communities away from society; they integrate into the wider society while holding on to their religious identity.
I hope the state of the trucking industry improves soon. Truckers are important to the economy. Best wishes from India.
I’m a truck driver and I see y’all all over. Working hard with all of us, we are all brothers.
You are a good human... :)

Jesus Christ loves you and He will save us from our sin if we put our faith and trust in Him! we all sinned and fell short of the glory of God (romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is death! (romans 6:23) but the gift of God is this
john 3:16-21:
“for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
and romans 10:9-13:
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
so God is coming at a time we least expect, and if we put our faith and trust in Him He will gift us His grace and clothe us with the righteousness of His blood (but of course death could not hold Him, He is risen!) and we will have eternal life in His kingdom where there will be there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying. there will be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. because He loves you so much! (romans 5:6-8) but if we deny and reject Him and don't repent from our sins to follow God, then we will have our part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. because no liar, no thief, no blasphemer (using Gods name in vain as a cuss word to express anger or disgust) and no adulterer (Jesus Christ says in matthew 5 that anyone who looks someone lustfully has already committed adultery with them in their heart) will enter the kingdom of heaven. so hear these words, repent and believe the gospel! accept Jesus Christ and confess your sins to Him so that He will forgive you and save you from hell where the fire will never be quenched and give you a life with truth, love, joy, and peace in His kingdom instead which will never fade away or perish. this is all if you haven't done this yet and Jesus Christ hasn't saved you yet, God bless you! 🙌👑💟

This warms my heart. I’ve had the pleasure to work with the Punjabi community, and they are honestly the most hardworking people I have ever met in my life and that’s a lot to say when I come from a Mexican immigrant family. Punjabi immigrants migrate but they hold tight on to their cultural values, of course it has its pros and cons but their community sensibility is extremely strong and is helping them move forward stronger than ever here in the U.S.

It is Buddhism with a sword. It was India's misfortune that it did not hold on to Buddhism. Buddhism was totally against Casteism. Sikhism is the rediscovery of the lost Buddhist values.

Most of the people I have met are really focused into careers with dedication plus also not forgetting their roots and traditions of India
Much respect for these guys. I dealt with them alot in my work and they are great people.
Good for him, making a business for himself, working hard and making sacrifices. An American entrepreneur at work.
This takes " lambo truck vich geddi to a whole new level. "
bahahaha
Brown munde !!
I’m a lumper in the east coast I’ve met a lot of Sikhs their really nice and they love to just get things done fast no nonsense
From a Muslim Moroccan/ American truck driver living in Idianapolis IN , i'm really like and respect all my Sikh indian brothers .they are very nice people and hard working . trusted people
I've been a trucker for over 25 year, my 1st. job was with Canon Express, I was pretty much the only Asian driver on the road, they call me the Chinese truck driver or China man over the CB radio, gradually it's gotten much better til Covid hit and I'll have to deal with it all over again, however I really due appreciate the Indian restaurants when I can find them especially the one off I-40 near Prewitt NM. Petro truck stop the Spicy Bite Indian restaurant, it's the best $11 buffet I've found on the road.
Stay strong borther ❤️
Yeah stay strong borther
Truck drivers know where all the good eat are at, My Dad drove local for many tears and would take me to some of them after he retired.
Im a truck driver and my wife is 4th generation Chinese American from Hawaii.
Stay safe out there. God bless.
The two sons of Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, Zorawar (9 years old) and Fateh (6 years old) were offered safe passage if they became Muslims. Both refused, and so Wazir Khan( Muslim army commander under Emperor Aurangzeb ) sentenced them to death. They were bricked alive.The place where the two children of Guru Gobind Singh were bricked alive is today known as Fatehgarh Sahib.Their bravery strengthens us, their sacrifice inspires us and their love of Guru guides us. Their young lives set the example against which all other actions are judged.
Waheguru ji ka khalsa
Waheguru ji ki fateh
Sikhs even tried to protect Hindus during British rule...We are always grateful for that..Thanq😊
@Persian carpet Damm🤣🤣🤣🤣
So much of
creativity!!!!
@Persian carpet carpet is over your brain as well!! Or you are getting 50 cent from Papa!!
@@humanbng7123 Thanks you so much brother
Youre not a sikh, you’re definitely a hindu. Look at your name and map, its part of the RSS agenda
As long as you are a credit to America, not a burden, and you love this country then I support you!
Never been to USA, but i have the same opinion about folks who enter my country too, for a living.
Damn nice people. And they'd lay their life down for you too.
I love how this video makes truck driving look so beautiful. I think he had a lucky scenic route with empty roads, cause usually you're stuck in lots of annoying traffic in really busy cities
I admire this man. He lives and drives with a purpose. He inspired me to search for meaning!
Group of Indian lads moved in down the street from us, though I'm not sure that they're Sikh. Anyway, at least one of them is a truck driver, they sometimes park their rig on the street in front of their house. We woke up one morning to find them playing cricket in the church parking lot across from us. I'd like to get to know them but I'm shit at making new friends. Maybe I'll ask them if they can teach me cricket the next time they're out there.
Go ahead they don’t bite
People love nothing better than to share their culture with you.
I'm proud to call Indians part of America -- they really do make America great again. Strong family culture, work ethic and smart. If the world unites and puts our minds together we can accomplish great things but politics in the media seeks to constantly divide us.
sir, Your quality of life is much better than a software engineer in India
Depends on where you working at..not better than a SE in big tech by any means....
There are like a million software engineers in india.
More engineers=Less money
@@puneettripathi8418 And yet no useful software has come out of India.
@@konjecture yeah but they still code half of the softwares you use. There are few good apps made in india, but they are just popular in india for now, can't say about the future.
31% google employees are indian, so that amount is pretty substantial
@@konjecture who told you that ?
I can list a lot but internationally recognised are very few
The Sikh drivers are truly the BEST in the World 🚛 🏆 🌍
That’s a lie.
@Johnny Mușchi he said the best not the dodgiest/corrupt 😆
@Johnny Mușchi I found the Serb
@Johnny Mușchi dude the idea of having a “best” group of drivers is stupid in itself. He said it out of praise and didn’t mean to demean others. There is no “best”, there is more productive, more amicable, more of some other metric, but a holistic best doesn’t make sense
No comment.
For some reason I feel a kind of security and gladness, knowing that Sikhs, these kind people, are the ones behind the wheels.
A real man right here! May God continue to bless him and all of us :)
I’m a truck driver from New Zealand just making a living to support my family behind the religion and skin colour etc we are all the same
@The artist formerly known as Pedro T. Gunderson I don't think so, it's not really something people talk about though. There are tonnes of Sikh truck drivers in New Zealand.
@The artist formerly known as Pedro T. Gunderson Kiwi here. Sihks I’ve come across live up to the stereotype. Very good, hardworking people.
@The artist formerly known as Pedro T. Gunderson It went straight over my head. Its a great joke
Hard workers never appreciated as much as they should be !
Respect to anyone who does trucking. It's an absolutely grueling job. Long hours, away from home most of the time, when you take into account time put in and what you get payed, you're barely making minimum wage. People are disrespectful to you, it's dangerous, it's stressful. I don't recommend truck driving to anyone but i respect those who do it. Former truck driver here of 5 years.
i did it for one year, defiantly below minumwage
I agree, I drove otr for almost six years. I quit at the end of 2020. I don't regret quitting. Actually I've been much happier since I quit.
@@LabordayzOH me too buddy. I work a 9-5 now I'm home every night i eat home cooked meals i shower in my own shower use my own toilets i get every weekend off. I'm way happier.
@@carpediem7654 yeah I don't miss waking up on the side of an on ramp without a restroom to use first thing in the morning. Good luck on the 9-5 hope it works out for you.
Thank you! You make this wonderful country run.
Lots of Sikh drivers out here on the road. Always kind and professional. That is what the American dream looks like.
Sikhs are very noble people. They always stand up for justice.
This right here is what America is all about. God bless this man and his family.
Thank you for your hard work and support of your family!!! You overcame the ignorance that happens in every country to someone who is different. We are a better country for people like you!
The Sikhs are an amazing group of people - charitable, charming, witty, honest, hardworking, smart, sociable, brave, sensible, very dependable and will always beat the odds against them. They always enrich the places they settle.
Best Sardar joke. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm proud that India is their home country.😊
How come drugs are also imported the most where siko live too?
Proud to be Sikh ❤️ I’m so truck driver 💜
Thanks I needed that...✨✨🪂
I love this guy!!! He's so humble and taking care of his business!!!! Hard work and dedication is what gets you places not being still. Plus I love indian food it's the best!!!!!!
As a person born in America and I drive truck too I really like the Indian restaurants and spicy curry . It adds variety that we never had before.
Its about Sikhs, people of a certain faith. Why you had to bring in the stereotypical talk of curries n spices?
Lmfao
@@JessiOz2k07
He is praising Indian food. Nothing to get feel bad about it.
@@JessiOz2k07 Talk of curry ??? I happen to like curry very much. And Indian people as a culture I respect especially their flavorful food i happen to like it too. So whats the problem? Why are you trying to twist it as if I don't like them Sikhs or otherwise ? I eat at the restaurants often and they are very kind to me.
@@narendermakhijani9512 Thank you. I like the culture and the food. When I am on the road somedays I just can't wait to get to an Indian owner truck stop to have the currie and India food. It's so good flavor.
One time something happened to my credit card it would not work the kind India truck stop owner let me have a hot shower and trusted me to pay him on my next trip coming back. It was in Nebraska. I made sure I stoped and paid him in full and order his wife cooking India food. Another truck stop restaurant in Oklahoma too very nice India owner and his wife and family cooking for me too. I really like those places. In fact it is my most favorite places to stop for food and sleep.
I have great respect to sikh people. They are friendly, honest helpful and warm hearted people. God bless sikh community to do great wonders wherever they are in the world. cheers
I'll be honest: I would definitely pay good money to see a modern remake of Convoy with a Sikh cast.
No thanks
How bout a Smokey and a Sikh aka Bandit >
Truly Honorable People. Great Americans!
Only Jesus Saves from Sin
@@johnbartlett9568 wow 💀
That kid cutely imitating the brake sounds is definitely going to be a truck lover. Dad's son! Satsriakaal paaji ♥️
or an engineer or doctor or a F1 racer if he likes the sound of brakes
it's Bhaaji not paaji. You know the meaning of paaji in hindi right ?
@@moviesandmysteries4538 who said he was speaking hindi?
@@alanv3185 paaji ka matlab pta hai kya hota hai ?
@@moviesandmysteries4538 idk fam but that guy wasn't speaking hindi. Paaji doesn't mean the same thing in punjabi
The greatness of America is that you can be a middle class person as a truck driver
not anymore
That's just a function of being a rich country - come on
A Scientist once said that a minimum wage worker in the US today has more items of comfort - a bed, TV, Fridge, phone etc than what even some KINGS had back in the day
All we see in movies are Kings with lots of riches - that is not true
Most Kings were dirt poor - they had a little bit of more money then their populace but their populace was even poorer back in the day
It is such a hard job--It is a very important story to highlight.
I'm not Sikh, but I wish there were more videos like this. About Muslims and other religion representatives too. Love the video. Thanks.
