If you still haven’t noticed, a new conversation is taking over—one paycheck at a time. Instead, this time, it’s coming from behind the wheel of a brown delivery truck.
His name is Skyler Stutzman. He’s an UPS driver from Oregon. When Stutzman uploaded a simple TikTok showing his weekly earnings in late 2023, he didn’t expect it to explode online. Within hours, his video became the main topic. People, especially those in traditional white-collar careers, started questioning everything they knew.
Breaking Down the Numbers
In his clip, which is now viral, Stutzman revealed he had worked 42 hours at $44.26 per hour. His total before taxes came to $2,004, and after deductions, he took home just over $1,300.
