17. Correct. Every word you've written is, sadly, too true.

I heard plenty about the need to keep double or even triple log books

For too long, making huge profits for the shareholders and paying ginormous salaries to CEO's has been allowed to hold the whip hand in this country. The results are abuse of the people who do the actual work and the crushing knowledge that safety rules and practices are only to be used to punish the workers when they finally collapse under the unfair pressure.

I didn't want to mention the multiple log books because I figured someone would think that I was trying to smear the drivers. I don't condone unsafe practices, but I am aware that most people don't behave like that unless they are stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
