Truck drives lose their jobs to automation. C programmers are superseded by java programmers, and then Rust/Go. Simplex optimization jobs get swept away by CPLEX, and later tensorflow. 20 years ago Visual Basic was all the rage, and 20 years before Cobol. Lots of people find themselves obsolete because, you know, the world changes. What's so special about truck drivers that they need government assistance? To be honest, my guess would be that a typical truck driver is more resourceful than a typical javascript programmer. Take a look at [1] where a truck driver asks for advice how to switch careers and become a welder. You'll be impressed: the guy goes from asking a question to having his welding rig in two months.
