as a person who has done some of those low-paying jobs ..sh*tty can be rather accurate , in some places there is no pride , no morale , no sense of accomplishment , now i have never driven a truck ( professionally ) but have worked on a few loading docks , and packed/unpacked a few containers , so have mixed with a few truckers .. and the key word for their skill is RESPONSIBILITY , when things go wrong they can go VERY wrong , and not only their own lives are at risk , but sometimes others as well ( not to mention the value of the rig and any cargo )

BTW i have seen management ( and customers) of a delivery treat the drivers like sh*t as well ( and have been surprised when a knuckle sandwich didn't come free with the delivery )

it's a rough game and i am not surprised when many retire early ( whether from health reasons or not ) ( BTW i have known at least one that drove through a house whilst dying from a heart attack , so stressing them out is not so great an idea )
