- xxpor 6y agoFor truckers: a) a class A CDL takes a lot more effort to obtain than a regular driver's licence. there's a much more constrained supply, so you don't end up with a race to the bottom on the demand side as much. b) the quantity of hours truckers can work is set by the federal Department of Transportation. with electronic logging becoming mandatory, that'll cut down even more on people being able to work off the clock. For taxi drivers: you absolutely do end up in this situation. there's just no multi-billion dollar company to make headlines about. medallion owners in NYC are all shady characters too.
