Driving is not easy, and for "unskilled" labor, drivers can easily make well over $100k, but that's due to overtime working 60-70 hours a week. It's a bit of a split on who is pushing the envelope of driver and management. Driver would never go for salary when they have an absurd ceiling for overtime with the massive shortage of drivers. My company was giving $20k signing bonuses to get drivers, and we still couldn't fill roles.
