It gives the driver leverage to hold brokers accountable for lying. Period! Let me share with all of you that I was a Funeral Director and in the profession for 20 yrs., but OTR trucking is the most persevering job I've ever had. BROKERS who laugh about this issue, aren't away from their families and are not giving up their LIFE like most truck drivers.; Yes I do enjoy it, but I'm not 'enjoying the countryside' like the recruiting-for-dummies would bait you with. I'm all BUSINESS. Actually, the FTC has dropped the ball on this one, because a funeral establishment can be fined up to $50,000 for violations relating to disclosure. This is a HUGE, yet ONLY the beginning steps truckers ARE taking. Bokerage is appreciated, but it is time the tail stopped wagging the dog.
