RESTING in the cramped compartment, truck driver Xiao An (not his real name) has been stuck on a highway for the past few days.

He had nowhere to go and is left with just enough food for the next two days. He had earlier transported goods to a city in Jiangsu province after queueing for two days at toll plazas.
