Saniah, a single mother of two, rewrote her story behind the wheel of a truck—proving that grit and globalization can go hand in hand. 💼✨ For years, she balanced childcare and cross-border hauls, but China’s growing trade ties with Southeast Asia opened new roads—literally. Over the past decade, the Belt and Road Initiative turbocharged logistics networks, connecting ports, highways, and dreams.
🌏🇨🇳 'I went from delivering local goods to driving shipments to Laos and Thailand,' Saniah says. 'The routes became my classroom.' As regional trade surged, so did opportunities for women in male-dominated fields. Experts note that expanding infrastructure has created over 200,000 logistics jobs in ASEAN countries since 2015, with women filling 35% of roles.
But Saniah’s journey isn’t just about paychecks. 🛣️ 'My kids see me breaking stereotypes,' she laughs. From TikTok trucking vlogs to cross-border eco-initiatives, her story mirrors a younger generation’s hunger for work-lifebalance and purpose. Who said truckers can’t be influencers?
