It's been a rough few decades for truckers. The costs/benefits analysis on the gig is such that most clever truck drivers realized they came out ahead doing 50 hours a week for Uber. Which leaves the ones who can't do 50 hours a week for Uber, or prefer the trucker lifestyle that much, or have other extenuating circumstances.
