Yeah, I read about this in other places too. They do a deal where the driver has to either rent the truck or leases to own it, then sets the terms in such a way that they barely make enough to live and have to stay on the road almost continuously to provide for their family.
At least 5 dead, multiple people injured in 70-vehicle pileup in Fort Worth as a winter storm hits areas from Texas through New Jersey. The storm that was expected to impact millions triggered power outages, tree damage and treacherous road conditions. In Fort Worth, rescuers had to use hydraulic tools to rescue people from vehicles. In Austin, more than two dozen vehicles were involved in another pileup on icy roads. Ref. USAToday.
