I watched the video this morning. It's actually worse than just this.

It's about so called chameleon trucking companies. They chameleon companies lease their trucks from a parent company that captures all the profit, re-lease them to drivers and then force the drivers to exceed the legal working time limits. When the safety record gets too bad they change company names. It's the same trucks, same dispatchers, same drivers, just changing the stickers on the truck.

The competition to screw drivers out of pay is on top of the already predatory lease relationship between these companies and the drivers. The driver accepts all the risk and expenses and is forced to use the company dispatchers and only haul freight brokered through them. They can reject loads or negotiate rates, but realistically they have a lease to pay in order to keep the truck, so they have to accept what is offered most of the time.
