One of the reasons drivers tend to earn so much (in my experience, at my company) is because there are not enough drivers so they are all offered fairly regular "overtime" at double rate to meet demand.
So even the places that offer good service don't have enough drivers.
It's not uncommon for there to be action short of strike and for the drivers en mass to reject any overtime, this brings services to its knees.
