Sure, John.

I did not try to organize this. It might be possible, of course, in theory.
And maybe it is one of the solutions - to have a place (possibly like

where we can organize driver jobs. I don't know how realistic this is

though, but

could be worth a try.

It might not be a case of "nobody cares", but that nobody can aff=

their paid work for long enough to look at the problem.
