The problem with that is the ATA and big trucking companies used the shortage lie to make driving a truck slave labor. In 1986 the starting wage for a truck driver was .18cents per mile. Why .18 cents per mile? Because the government was paying the companies. 18 cents per mile for every mile that the driver drove for the first year. At about 10 months the company cuts drivers miles and that cuts his paycheck and he is forced to leave. So the company brings in another trainee and the free labor cycle starts again. I can go into more detail but that a long story. I have been trucking since 1986 so I have an idea of how it works.
