Unfortunately this a rather common practice with dishonest companies. You can request the information and sue them, but is is worth it? Only you can answer that. This is the reason most brokers will not tell the driver what the load pays, because they because they don't want to get into middle of it, and the company usually tells them not to discuss rates with drivers. Time to move on and find a honest carrier to work for

I don't doubt it. I would suggest, that you find a company to lease on to before you confront them. Because, I am confident that they will starve you to death, and make your time there miserable if you don't

The truth in leasing laws are in place to protect you and others from deals like this. Supposedly by federal law you can ask to see any and all invoices pertaining to the loads that you have hauled during regular business hours. Contact OOIDA and see what they tell you to do. Read the regulations on 49 C.F.R. § 376.12 or this article Your rights in the regs - Land Line Magazine - June 2019

The only way you'll win this in court from my experience is if you can get the lease contract and find the agreed amount of compensation that the employer(trucking company) has breach the terms of the condition.
You'll need a long list of evidence, broker's confirmations or something that would show a large some of money is owed to the driver's.
