Yeah, but that's not why there's a "shortage" of drivers. There is absolutely no upper limit to driver pay and no nameless bureaucrat filling out some permissible wage table but only "what the market will bear". From experience I can tell you the main two culprits are it's kind of a shitty job and it's kind of a shitty job that can turn into a really shitty job (or no job) really, really fast. No serious solutions ever treat it like the quality-of-life problem that it really is -- parking is a major problem, shippers/receivers suck up large quantities of unpaid time and living in a truck/being away from home for weeks at a time is not for everyone are probably the top 3 complaints I would hear. Well, and all the crazy shit the "4-wheelers" get up to but that's usually entertaining.
