I find it quite shitty truck drivers are never mentioned when companies and corporations do virtue signaling like this, ESPECIALLY when Covid hit.
While truck drivers were on the road hauling ass to get water and toilet paper to stores, nurses were on tik tok in empty hospitals (the same hospitals they told us were full to the brim) making dance videos.
Lowly skills? Lol! Let me guess, never driven a truck before. You left me know how tired you are after working for 14 hours, now how did you feel in that last 4 hour drive you took! I see four wheelers stretching in pain at rest areas. Rookies! Our number one skill is saving lives! I save more lives in a day than an ambulance worker. Four wheelers have no respect for distance it takes to stop a rig, your welcome, that trucker you just cut off saved your life by somehow not turning your car into a pop can. Lowly skills? Do you know the traffic laws in your state? How about all the rest of them? Think you're laws are a pain to memorize? CDL, doubles triples, hazmat, tanker. Yep no knowledge needed here. How about over sized loads. Ever read permits? All States differ no uniform laws. Your statement it's insulting and just ignorant. If trucks stopped moving you would be killing your neighbor for food in a week. Everything you own was on a truck at some point. Everything you want will be brought by a lowly skilled trucker. I'll take blue collar folks over white collar any day.

Don't even get me fucking started on teachers.
This country would fall apart overnight without our truckers keeping gas stations filled and grocery stores stocked.

Cool stories, but automation is coming. Everything you want will soon be brought by a robot.
Don't worry - Those that aren't smart enough to pass the CDL can still become cops and hairdressers, so not much will change.
