Your average commuter does not know that a tractor trailer is often not just of a single company on the road. Rather, it is common that the tractor and trailer are owned by different companies, while the “haul” or products within the trailer are owned by a third completely different company. And, that “haul” is typically brokered by a fourth completely different company. And, the driver of the tractor trailer may not be an employee of any of them but an independent contractor or employee of a fifth completely different company.
