$50,000 a year?! Wow, it's more like $5000 a year here for driving trucks. Also there are lots of cases of truckers spamming amphetamines to stay awake to drive at night, and fall asleep on the wheel post-drug crash. Many of those dudes like to think they're kings of the road so they don't bother staying in their lane on 2-lane province roads, which makes for extremely dangerous country driving. Maybe in the states truckers have a bit of a badass alpha-ish image, but Thai truckers are seen as bottom of the barrel in the dating pool, and middle class girls aren't gonna be seen anywhere near them.
