How is that rational? A truck driver's license can't be too expensive, even if you hardly use it. It's probably one of the easier things to have on your bucket list.

Depending on where you live, there might be on-going fees (regular medical, psychological exams, etc, paid by the license holder). This kind of license is assumed to be used for revenue generation, so the fees are not supposed to be a problem.

If they just want to get it once ongoing cost is not a concern.
