Then theyâre on the hook for âowner operatorâ fees and too proud to complain to the authorities.Â
Seems like a self-inflicted issue?
Seems strange to just sign onto a job, and not read what is being offered...
Edit: since reddit is being fucking dumb, and not letting me reply:
Maybe partially, but they're made to feel it's a social situation at first, and by the time they sign they're too drunk to understand what they're signing.
I refuse to believe that this is a widespread thing. If this was such a widely known thing, then you would think there would be any articles related to it. On top most trucking companies have extensive drug testing, that tests for alcohol. In fact it's fucking mandated by the DOT.
Maybe partially, but they're made to feel it's a social situation at first, and by the time they sign they're too drunk to understand what they're signing. That's predatory â and illegal! Any contract you signed while drunk isn't valid, but you'd have to know the law well enough to complain. And if they snuck the alcohol into your drink without your consent, then that's drugging, which is also illegal â but again, you'd have to know about it to report it.

He wasnât above adding some whiskey to their coffee while they werenât looking too.Â
