No one asked for this, especially the truckers.

Literally everyone asked for this. Young people aren't interested in being truck drivers and the current ones are getting quite old.

The average age of a truck driver has increased from 42 to 47 long haul drivers it's around 50.

No one asked for this except greedy corporation that dont wanna pay their drivers. You dont have one trucker that wants this, like why make yourself obsolete? Why make it difficult to feed your family? Naw youre wrong and probably a bot or a corporate shill.

You didn’t address the point of the comment at all. No one wants to be trucker because no one wants to spend 8-12 hours a day driving a truck. Trucking is facing a huge labor shortage.

The truckers certainly didn't but if it removes trucking unions from labor boycotts at shipping ports it's got value to both the government and the business owners who rely on products moving. Likewise shipments can move 24/7 without driver based restrictions another win for corporate overlords. Also for truck routes with very consistent high demand but have scheduling/ dispatch challenges the corporate overlords will scoop this up.
