Coronavirus conversations: Canadian truckers

How drivers feel about crossing the US border in the Covid-19 pandemic

Brenda and Jeff are truckers from Canada who drive in and out of the United States for a living. Jeff is now turning down work in the US because of the severity of the coronavirus pandemic there. Brenda is still crossing the border. They've been telling us about their experiences.
