Why would the average construction worker need a truck? Sure the owner of the company would need to own trucks but why does the individual laborer need a truck?
That is a huge difference between the USA and other parts of the world. Here everyone that swings a hammer or turns a bolt thinks they need a truck. Not just any truck - a full size truck with a lift kit. In the rest of the world the company provides the trucks and makes sure materials and equipment get to the job site. The laborer only needs to get themselves to the job site and sometimes that is also take care of by the company owner.
