During his speech, the president repeated two stories \u2014 one about the only female truck driver he ever knew, apparently nicknamed, \u201cBig Mama,\u201d and another about his past experience driving a truck. The only problem is that there is no evidence he ever drove a truck \u2014 let alone worked as a truck driver \u2014 and has been called out for the false claim before.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced the Trucking Action Plan at a White House briefing Monday afternoon, detailing their plans to make access into the industry easier. During his speech, Biden claimed, \u201cI used to drive a truck\u2026anyway, it\u2019s a long story,\u201d before adding that he thought he was\u00a0\u201cgoing to drive one of these suckers today,\u201d referencing the trucks behind him.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden: \u201cI used to drive a truck.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This is completely false.  <\/p>\n<p>Biden has never driven a truck.
