    Default First ever truck driving ad on tv

    I've NEVER seen a truck driving advertisement on a television commercial. I saw my first one tonight on FOX and it was a Schneider National. It showed a guy doing construction work and busting his butt. Then a guy drives by real slow in the big orange truck and smiles at the conscrution worker. And the caption said "you can earn up to 33-45k your first year.

    Thought i'd share that.

    I have seen JB's commercial during daytime TV. Usally during Jerry Springer. Then we have a big gas hauler in Oklahoma that has a TV commercial on every once in awhile, usally late at nite. These companys can't afford prime time.

    The "PUMPKIN" has gone out on TV a few times that I know of. May have something to do with "JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT" for all I know. But I've seen them before. Not the first time, and it won't be the last.
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)

    Advertising during the JERRY and OPRAH. hours ...HMM I wonder what segment of America would be sitting around at those times :?: :idea: ...Do the commercials give instruction on how to obtain funding from the local WEL-FARE office ,as well :wink:

    there was a sni ad earlier that featured a black office worker in a cubicle
    on the phone when the pumpkin passed by twice, and he was in the cab
    on the 3rd pass. this aired about a month ago.

    truck recruiting ads are more common on satellite radio, because that's
    where the drivers are tuned to these days.
