I would also ask, is that $150k what they actually make? Or are they paying for fuel out of that? Plus of course, trivial things like taxes.

One of my maternal uncles was a truck driver. This would have been back in the '40s, '50s and '60s. I don't know if he did long haul driving, and I have no idea if he owned his truck. All I know is that Uncle Bob was a truck driver. I do know that he earned a decent living.

Uncle Bob's wife's sister husband was head elevator operator at the Empire State Building for many years. I did a quick Google of his name and found this: https://www.nytimes.com/1984/09/29/nyregion/day-by-day-a-fixture-retires.html
