recover repair costs from truck drivers and companies

Nah, just the companies.

  1. more assured of payment
  2. have them stop hiring bad drivers and working them too hard.

As a driver myself, I think if it's deemed that the driver's negligence was the main contributing factor, they should be personally liable.

The whole point is that is to send a STRONG message to the unprofessional drivers that if they don't pickup the slack and fuck up, the rest of their life might be destroyed.

Massive fine for the company and suspension of license for the driver in my opinion, maybe about 6 months. By that time they may search to work in a different industry, hopefully.

6 months isn't enough.
