So you don't have an answer. Same type of answer you get when you ask a liberal how they arrived at $15 as a living wage.

My wife worked as a dispatcher for a logistics company for 10 years. Truckers typically make as much as they are willing to work, unless they work for big companies, but then you have to factor retirement and medical benefits into their salary.

$15 an hour is an arbitrary demand with no basis in microeconomics.
"There are not enough truckers, perhaps trucker wages need to increase" is neither arbitrary nor a demand. It's just an observation, with a basis in microeconomics.

Also, your second paragraph shows you didn't read the article. These are not typical times.

My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
