Truckers also get abused by their employers who demand that they obey speed limits while giving them delivery deadlines that require both speeding and skipping breaks and required sleep breaks.

Thus there’s a huge turnover in the industry because not even immigrants are willing to work under such abusive conditions.

You answered your second statement with the first.

The "high turnover" is caused by drivers voting with their feet and going to better companies.

Drivers are in constant contact with their peers and seek the best pay-conditions-equipment they can get.

That sounds an awful lot like capitalism. Is that allowed nowadays? ;)
