Its not like they are forcing them to go out and spend $140,000+ on a truck to make less than minimum wage as TFA asserts but people are choosing to buy (or lease) a truck on their own volition. Maybe they make money, maybe they lose money, either way it’s what they chose to do and business is hard.
