Then the only argument left is that the change is somehow unfair to truckers.

Think about all those truckers and taxi drivers who are going to see their jobs eliminated by maybe 2030.

When they start using autonomous trucks, there will be many unemployed truckers competing for these niche jobs.

That traffic jam was outside and affected primarily truckers who didn't want to pay a toll to take e expressway.

Several experts (ex-truckers) have described how they have seen people killed in circumstances like this.

Robot trucks also don’t need salaries — salaries that stand to go up because fewer and fewer people want to be truckers.

That said, I still agree with you that rest ought to be enforced just as it is for truckers.

Not sure how many hours truckers are allowed to drive, but in a city you have way more things that can go wrong.

If truckers can't profitably transport goods when bearing the full cost of their activity, then what they were doing was an uneconomic waste of resources.

I think I was 8 or 9 when my mum brought truckers home from the library to read together with me.

I'm a little bit older, so I started at the start with Colour of Magic, and then went back for Truckers etc.

In practice, the truckers will be worse off, but you could at least arrange taxes so that the percentage of people earning less than X decreased, for all X.

Perhaps it's not relevant to the central thesis of the piece, but to say that truckers are "well paid" is misguided.

In the US, workers subject to the DOT's "Hours of Service" rules (truckers, train crews, airplane pilots, etc) get very generous tak breaks and take home a far greater percentage of their earnings than most workers.

My mum accidentally introduced me to Pratchett when she brought home Truckers, I was at the age where she would still read to me, but I would also push ahead on my own.
