What planet are you on? Truck driver is an excellent working class job. It's skilled labour (yes, really), you need to be trustworthy and able to operate independently, work long hours and take responsibility for a very expensive asset. As a result it pays a significant premium compared to a lot of manual labour and service jobs.

At best it's an ok working class job; for Amazon, it's more of a stop-gap until delivery vehicles with auto-pilot are more widely available.
