Consider the following. For years there has been a shortage of long-distance truck drivers. Despite this fact, wages for truck drivers have fallen over time. In a free market, that would be impossible.
Why do you mix the labor shortage in long haul trucking with the wages of the interests market for truck drivers?
Wages for long haul drivers are going up over time. The total population of truck drivers has shifted over time as FedEx and others expand and use far more short haul drivers. Per the articles you link too they are not seeing the rapid turn over in short haul drivers.
In other words markets for drivers are working as expected.
