    The one thing I hate about these videos is they all leave out the video that they are talking about.

    Could you show the video?

    As for the subject, many are at fault for promoting this as a way to rescue someone and make the big bucks.

    Many drivers are steering wheel holders and don't deserve the money they get, they have a get-by attitude and perpetuate the image we have to the public - truck drivers are scum.

    I can remember back in the mid 70s making $12.75 an hour , that was a good pay then. After that, just climbing up and up and up and up. my first day with the teamsters, they said welcome to your retirement job. I am so thankful for all the years with the teamsters they take care of you. They know trucking , you have to pay your dues. Go through the process of seniority .work your way up, well worth it. I thank them so much. Local 705 teamsters Chicago

    At $300 a week, he's definitely doing it wrong.

    At least you didn’t use the “ wouldn’t start my truck for less than ….” analogy.
