Couldn't they prorate the hourly rate to account for the time that your actually assigned to an active delivery? That wouldn't interfere with multi-apping, as a driver would be "on the clock" for their delivery time. It seems like the companies would be able to figure out how to do the right thing if they wanted to.

Yeah that would be a good solution but not what the law proposes, the problem is the government isn't getting to do the right thing either it's just a knee jerk responce to a new thing existing.
