The drivers got to keep their feeling of independence by keeping the right to set their own hours. Many of them forgot that the company could just decide to use 'contractors' who would just work whenever the company wanted. If you can set your own availability, but the company decided to never use you, what good is flexible hours??????</blockquote>
