The Minnesota Trucking Association has an ongoing video contest — taking entries through July 31 — that asks drivers to answer the question “What would be cool about being a truck driver?” The winning video will net the creator $1,000, and you might consider it an opportunity to do right by the profession.
And here’s another little bit of intelligence — as of this morning the MTA hadn’t received a single qualifying entry. Your chances of winning may well be good. Following find abbreviated rules.
