I appreciate hearing this from the horses mouth, so to speak. Someone who gave it a go.

The snipped quote above is the key thing I think. We can assume that enough people are satisfied with the margin, or else, the OEMs could not find enough people to do the job and would by necessity pay a higher rate. The rate they pay is what the market will bear.

My observation has been that those who do this are not driving high end/high priced trucks. Old Dodges with Cummins that run forever seem to be most common. Long ago paid for. No particular worry about family, probably don't have that burden. Sleep in the back seat. They don't make a lot, and they don't need a lot. Just like people who live on minimum wage. You can, but you won't be raising a family or buying a house.

It's funny I see transporters all the time stopping in my town for fuel and on the interstate running by my town and all of them have the most current models of Ford, Dodge and Chevorlet/GMC's and a couple of years ago I did see one fairly old dodge pulling down the road. And just out of curiosity I looked into it and a requirement was only had to have new to a couple years old.....
