Does Driver Inc. lead to safety problems? That's what I understand you're asking.
Yes, there is no question that it leads to safety problems. A Driver Inc. driver could come and drive for me, and I would know that he has put in his 14-hour shift. Then he could drive over to Jeff's place and drive for him and put in another 14 hours, and nobody knows that this man has just worked for 28 hours straight with no sleep. Clearly, that's a problem out there on the streets.
Driver Inc. drivers are made responsible for equipment they don't own. If the driver is in an accident, where do the police, the MTO, SAAQ or whoever else go to find the maintenance records, the hours-of-service records, the qualification records—everything that we legitimate carriers, when you ask for them, can have for you in 10 minutes? They're all scanned—all the maintenance records, everything. You can't do that with a Driver Inc. fleet, because that information is simply not readily available.
These people know that, and they get away with driving junk and not caring about who they run into, who they run over.
