Since listening to that, a lot of the recent news I've been seeing, including this article, haven't been a surprise to me.
I remember they talked specifically about how predatory the trucking industry is. They interviewed both the truckers and some of the representative from companies exploiting them. (Business model didn't sound all that different from Uber. Drivers pay for their own trucks, work as independent contractors, while large operating under control of companies.)
I can't actually locate it on this site so it may have been reported in some follow-up stories. Or perhaps in details of actual story audio.
