Anybody watch the new show called LOADED

The so-called "reality shows" have gotten too focused on drama, for my tastes. Guess we can hope that this one will do better.

 

Hadn't seen it yet, might have to keep an eye out for it.

 

I watched it last night....keep in mind, the 1st season of these reality shows typically are the best ones. There wasn't a whole lot of drama with this one. I feel the "pay" is inflated....Brenda, the company driver for Sharkey no way makes $3500.00 going from Chicago to Boston and back to Chicago in one week like they were stating she was. Overall, I think the show has potential. Brenda is pretty spunky, wouldn't mess with her in a truckstop late at night in Gary IN, thats for sure. Hope it stays good.

 

Yes, especially when r/t it is only 2K miles, and a company driver.

 

Yeah. According to Google Maps, it's 1,966 miles round trip. At that $3,500 the show quoted (didn't watch it) she would have been making $1.78/mile. Not happening as a company driver.

 

I'll have to watch for that. I've been enjoying Highway Thru Hell and Big Rig Bounty Hunters on my home time. Although the bounty hunter show can be exciting, it's not realistic in some aspects, if you watch you'll see what I mean. It has its funny moments, but you have to go into it with the mindset that its for entertainment and not a documentary, otherwise it'll irritate you lol.

 

Sharkey does not pay that good , nor does any company I ever drove for as a company driver !! She was at Sharkey when I was there , she got let go "from what we heard" & now she is back there ! She had some good video's when we met her & I was shocked that Sharkey let her do this "LOADED" thing ! She was a easy going gal with lots of spunk & it shows in her video's !! Good luck Brenda !!

 

I agree, she seems she'll be great in front of the camera. Surprised they showed her cussing out the tailgater up on I-95/I-84 in CT...I would have done the same thing though.

 

maybe the company made $3500 on the return run but she didnt unless twc paid her
