Great, well documented article. Working in the trucking insurance industry for 30 years has been wild. The number of foreign owned trucking/logistics companies has skyrocketed and most have a similar business model based on short term profits built on abuse of drivers and short cutting regulations and laws which are costly to comply with. State regulators and enforcement tend to look the other way blaming lack of manpower. I personally will not work with anyone who operates outside the laws and therefore don’t have much local business.

I commend your efforts in bringing this chicanery to light.

I remember highway driving in the 70's and 80's and how lucky I considered myself to find a big truck on the highway in a blizzard.

I'd get in their tailstream and be confident they'd see any trouble ahead.

Nowadays, I get as far away from big trucks as I safely can. I've seen too much dangerous driving to trust any big truck driver these days.

Though I'd get behind you, Gord. Good job!
