You're missing the point. This has nothing to do with more drivers entering the market to return the numbers to any artificial "correct" number. If more companies wanted truck drivers more desperately, their pay would go up. Same number of drivers but they'd all earn more as employers compete to get what's available. Or if half of them quit, the pay for the remaining half would go up. Less truck driving would be done and fewer companies would need truck drivers (at the price they now demand).
