Though they can make good money, truck drivers have so many people in their pockets. Trucks cost a fortune and unless you own your own truck usually the boss screws you with poor pay long hours. Even when you own your own truck it's a pain to collect from people, insurance is a fortune (sometimes 10% of what they make annually) gas... etc. Truck driving is a brutal game.
