Or even in-general just prioritizing "non +33% rate" drivers that night to maximize their profits (which is what a company is all about). Whats guaranteeing that the high rate drivers won't just be an expensive worst case reserve pool of workers when demand climbs?

A company is NOT all about maximizing profits. But even if they were there is a difference between maximizing short term profits and long term profits
