Great
If you had the choice between
a. not working and still getting paid via unemployment
or
b. working as a long haul truck driver, where the hours/work sucks and the pay is only marginally better than unemployment
which would you choose? My guess is option b for most people

Fuel is through the roof and drivers are costing more because of labor shortages

What are the drivers doing? Who’s paying them to stay home? Unser what policies

A good driver can make $80,000 to $100,000 a year, it would still be a hard job

It's going to get worse as we go into the holidays, it wouldn't shock me to see
