Back in the late 80's I got $400/day for my CCKW with meals (GREAT!!!) and
lodging for myself. At one point they wanted me to be in a scene for
$15/day, but
I would have lost out on a days pay for the deuce.... I traded my movie
career for
a few pieces of gold!
They sprayed "mud" (special something other than mud) on the trucks. We had
an
agreement that no one else could drive the trucks. Actors could sit in them,
but
that was it.
An interesting experience and the most disorganized thing I ever saw!
