Seun Te travels more than 60km a day down bumpy roads to go and sell coal in Phnom Penh. Accompanied by his son and nephew he pulls his 800-1000kg coal heavy trailer with his motorcycle. He leaves his home around 3am to arrive in the capital around 8 am. Some days he is lucky and will sell his load before 11 somedays he only finish at 2 pm, after which he will drive another 4-5 hours home.
