This should help:

 

Amphetamines are used by college and high-school students as a study and test-taking aid. Amphetamines work by increasing energy levels, concentration, and motivation, thus allowing students to study for an extended period of time. These drugs are often acquired through ADHD prescriptions to students and peers, rather than illicitly produced drugs

truck drivers drive long distances, so they use this.
