15. An IQ test for truck drivers would disqualify 95% of them.
It isn't a job that requires any education, or even any real skill for that matter, so it tends to attract a lot of uneducated people who would be otherwise unemployed. This means that the field is full of dumb, uneducated rednecks, but it's also attractive to recent immigrants (legal and otherwise) who come from countries without formal educational systems. In many ways, it's one of the last refuges for people who wouldn't otherwise survive in "modern" society.
