    I have heard the money is good and I have only drove through 1 blizzard but I was young and dumb and had my gf sending me pictures of her in my bed so I was going to get home no matter what and I never plan to drive through another blizzard snow storm I can handle but that's it

    Doesn't pay half of what it did about ten years before the TV show. Once the diamond mines were built, a lot more freight required more trucks, which got the attention of more carriers which subsequently drove down the rates.
