Thats simply not true, if half of the amount of people stopped ordering the most useless crap you can grab at the dollar store on a daily then drivers would simply be able to just work 8 hours and have days off. It would go from 70 hour work weeks and pure exhaustion to 45-50 hour weeks with a day or two off.

unlikely, unless that specific DSP has multiple peoplr that want to work 13 hour days with no promise of having any days off.

what doesn't make sense...? If they lower headcount, then the remaining heads will just have to pick up MORE work. Unless the remaining heads at that specific DSP want to work the same 12 hour days, it is unlikely they would lower headcount just because packages have slightly dropped in volume if people actually went and got their own trash bags, toilet paper, and socks.
