This is just devolving into a dispute about the definition of grueling.

The dictionary says “extremely tiring and demanding”. Letting random people into your space, putting your primary income generating asset at risk, being on constant alert, and working long, undesirable hours that results in health problems qualifies as grueling for me. Maybe not as grueling as some other types of labor, but obviously more grueling than 95% of programming jobs.

The drivers taking constant breaks and working whenever they feel like it are not the ones earning any decent amount of money.
