After ripping into Madison Cawthorn, ‘Last Week Tonight’ host John Oliver tackled the trucking industry, explaining why drivers are pissing in bottles and quitting in record numbers.
. There are about 3.5 million truck drivers in America, yet trucking companies have long claimed there’s a shortage of drivers that threatens to derail — OK, further derail — the supply chain. Except, the actual problem isn’t too few truckers, it’s too few truckers willing to put up with all the terrible bullshit truckers are forced to put up with.
Are those two things actually related, and if so, how much? Unfortunately, Oliver didn’t say.The second is that truckers are labeled as independent contractors even when they work for only one company, meaning they receive no benefits and pay their own expenses. Oliver played a clip in which a trucker explained she had made $150,000 in a year, but due to all of her costs — her gas alone was $100,000 — the amount of money she took home was a lot closer to $20,000.
