Hell, if you want to talk about rules and regulations that effect commercial drivers and the shortage of. The 3 biggest and all of them are more than 20 years old are (and I might be slightly off about the dates)...
1983 B.A.C was changed from 0.08 to 0.04 for commercial drivers.
1992 federal government standardized rules and regulations, and a drivers record followed you from state to state.
2001 point system was changed, and commercial drivers were no longer allowed points even in their personal car without it counting against their commercial license.
Combined, experienced drivers were hard to keep.

So not having drunks drive semis and only allowing them to have one driver license so they can't spread their points around to multiple states is a bad thing?
