But I don’t see trucks like that around here despite the city undergoing constant construction, so they’re moving around materials and people just fine without them. Mostly I see box trucks and dump trucks.

Even if the job requires more workers, why are they all in the same vehicle? Is the boss going around to their houses to pick them up? Or if they’re meeting somewhere and then going out together, why not just go directly to the job site from home? Surely a large job has an on-site office and storage rather than hauling everything back and forth constantly.

I only ever see smaller trucks here; it doesn’t seem to be a problem to only seat two people. Don’t the American trucks have more seating because they’re doubling as family cars?

What do you need the extra seats for?

Isn’t it pretty commonly legal to record and disclose any conversation to which you’re a party?
