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. :lol: 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.

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: :lol:

There are no such commercials in the U.K as truckers are seen as being the lowest of the low.... :x

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.
