Truckers Needed For Documentary!

Has anyone discussed with them the truckers family? With all the sacrifices they make it might also help the public to understand and appreciate this lifestyle. It isnt just the trucker, somewhere he has a family missing him every night, and they are the SOLE reason many people do it.

Sounds hard to grasp I know, spend time away from your family, and say it is FOR your family? I dont think the image of the trucker can be truly portrayed unless that aspect is also given is due.

So if no one has brought it up I ask you, Bizzaro Studios, if you really want to see "what makes a trucker" look at the driveway he misses the most.

 

sure, why not. make it a little more interesting.

 

Sounds like it may be nothing more than a Borat-style comedy, at least judging by the name of the studio.

Will a bunch of unknowing truck drivers be the butt of somebody's joke here?

 

I appreciate your skepticism as well as everyone else's (It shows that if you were to contribute, you'd take this seriously). As of now I guess we find our selves in a conundrum because our company name is out of the ordinary and there is no real way for me to prove to everyone on the boards that this is a serious documentary. But you have my word for how-ever much that matters that this is a documentary and not an off the cuff "mocumentary". I want to keep this project very real, I believe I have been fairly specific on what our goal is and I plan on not deviating from that path. So if your interested then contribute and if not that's OK, I hope you enjoy our film when it releases.

Be fair to all sides and I'll gladly watch it. Try to portray the average Joe Q. Driver as a pill-poppin', porn watchin', pot-smokin' pervert and I won't bother. Some drivers are slime, but most drivers are good ol' boys who would definitely pull me or you out of a burning wreck even if it meant risking death.

I MYSELF would focus on the turnover/training morass, along with abuse drivers have to absorb by docks and by the various state DOTs, such as those in California and Ohio.

Trucking is pretty corrupt when you look under the rug, and I hope you'll discover that fact very early on as you wade into your Truckumentary. Drivers are good ol' boys, sure, but they get far more than their fair share of the shaft in the trucking industry. Tell the world how they get the shaft and you may have made a masterpiece.

Good luck with it.

 

Kyle and Wayne, hopefully you know how to do "homework", and a great place to start is here. There is alot of information in this forum, alot of smart truckers and their families, with many different attitudes and expressions. This forum will give you a wide understanding of the "daily" grind these people put up with. Like it's been said, the truckers life has been portrayed in various not-so-true ways in the movies and the news, the bad always stands out, but truckers are real people with real feelings, please don't hurt these people or run them through the mud. I pray you guys are on the up and up and Americans will get the true story.

 

Ditto! The corrupt part I'm referring to has nothing to do with the truckers themselves, but more so some of the companies etc.
