Can you imagine renting a truck, then hiring a bum off the street to come into your house to pack and load all your furniture and valuables then sending him off, unassisted with all your stuff to your new home?

Of course not, nobody would do that.  If someone wants their valuables moved, they do it themselves or they hire a professional.  So it is in the world of trucking.

The lowest paid on highway long distance truckers typically hook up to a trailer, pull that trailer to another location, unhook that trailer and are off to hook to another.  Often they have no idea of what they just hauled, or care.  A few may have hit every bump in the road at top speed and some locked the brakes at every light or stop sign in route to their goal of fiddling time away at the favorite truck stop. 

The highest paid of on highway long distance truckers may have their truck and trailer parked a hundred feet or more away from a museums door because the museum was not designed for trucks to get close.  You might find this truck driver carefully guiding a dolly carrying a priceless artifact, then loading the work of art, securing it, then driving off into the sunset.  

The above or a variation there of happens every day.  The difference between high and low is personal initiative, positioning and double the pay and more.
