I'm just going on media commentary and folklore I've heard since as early as I was old enough to pay attention to such topics in the early 90s. But that study rings true. From what I understand about the industry here in Australia, it's not always just a case of "poor working conditions" (unless poor working conditions includes merely being a truck driver); many long-haul truck drivers are self-employed business operators, and are motivated by competitive pressures and incentives to make as much money as possible for themselves, so it's not always just a case of being treated poorly by evil bosses.
