    No. That's 4200 qualified drivers to bolster Schneiders ranks.

    That article is making that driver sound pitiful. All isn't lost. He's going on like he can't take care of his family. He will just have to work as a company driver for a company with more of a customer base, one that isn't wholly reliant on the spot market. All this going down, maybe the strength of the economy was overestimated.

    Survival of the fittest. Only ones that will be pushed out are the ones who shouldn't have even been in this industry to begin with. The "driver" pool could stand a good mucking.
