Yes, instead of paying a token fine and continue wrongdoing we ought to mimic the Europeans and stick them with a significant fine in addition to requiring that they pay back wages and any other monies due. The shipping industry will evolve to be profitable while paying people. On my last cross country trip I saw many dozens of freight trains that were stacked double high and hundreds of cars long. They could have been doing this all along! But before covid they tended to be only single stacked and capped out around sixty cars. I also noticed a lot more triple-trailer semi trucks - mostly fedex. I’m less excited about those because they sway a lot in the wind and that’s a problem on narrow roads.
