No. The article said nothing about private efforts. It was advocating government regulation. By self-regulation, I mean something like a set of guidelines multiple trucking companies voluntarily sign on to. Or employment contracts. Not just unwritten "goodwill", which is what your comment seems to be equating to "self-regulating". Apologies if I'm wrong about that.
