Also, speaking of 'truck', I understand they also just received a Ford Transit Van to replace the Freightliner Van. It does seem ironic that Reality TV is not really reality, huh ☺

Actually I heard much the same thing about them from a friend who saw them driving in Florida several years ago and trailed them to a motorcycle collector. It appeared they have staff that drives the van to locations while Mike & Frank fly to a nearby airport and get picked up. A large amount of footage is shot at the location and pruned down to what we see on the show. The "country bumpkins" we see are actually coached on how to behave.
I often wondered if their real job was doing some kind of estate liquidation, or if the show itself is their primary job.
