Fortunately truck drivers are well paid.

  Haha. That's so funny. $11.40 / Hour driving a dump truck on the local beat. Most people on HN would not even get out of bed for a wage like that.

    > The 2016 full-time average hourly wage rate for transport and heavy equipment operation and related maintenance occupations, which includes truck drivers, is $21.00. The 2016 corresponding median weekly wage rate is $950, giving an approximate full-time annual salary for this employment group of $49,000.

      So significantly less than the median wage. How exactly does that make truck drivers "well paid"?

        Median income is less than $40,000.
