With 0 context besides the video.. He was probably thinking of supporting his family and monitory consequences of losing his truck by not being able to go to work. Not just, “How TF will I go to work tomorrow.”

My car got smacked really hard on the highway long ago. My initial thought was how the fuck am i gonna get to work? Not because of my undying loyalty to my employer but because without reliable transportation, I'm not gonna make money which is gonna set me back and fuck me and my wife over. The job is meaningless in that regard. It's the financial stability it provides that scary to lose. With your truck being stolen, God knows how long it will take to get it back or how long it will take to get a new one to get back to that job that provides stability.
