Ethics Violations?

I'm writing this for a friend who has a question.
Here it is.... The trucking company in question is a small carrier with just under a 100 trucks,small town operation and most of the drivers are local people.
Here's the issues that are being recorded from within the company by several drivers and some office personnel, now before I state all the issues,I am wandering if peoples rights are being violated and if there is ethics violations. And of course would it be worth while to sue?
So I'm sure we have all seen this before and even heard about it before and it is not just small companies doing it. Here's the deal a few drivers working for the company are very closely related and close friends with the owners and at a recent event it was announced that those same drivers were the only ones who got safety bonuses fuel bonuses and awards for having the most miles.
Here's the ethics violation in my view, They are giving these guys all the easy (dedicated runs), and the longer distance runs so they get better miles, the biggest turn around issue is drivers who aren't in the circle of friends and relatives are quiting because they see the obvious. The rate at which they are doing it is astounding for example your not one of their favorites you might get 1800 to 1900 miles a week average 25k to 30k a year no money at all .
If your in the loop with them you make upwards of 65k to 95k.
Some insight on this issue if you have any. I know this happens a lot in trucking
Let me know your thoughts

 

Ok just for the record they are breaking the law. I looked it up and it is an ethics violation. I think part of the problem with this country is passive people not willing to fight for the good causes anymore.Im not talking about seeing for money or profit ,but if more people sued over things like this maybe the tru king industry would be a little better. I know a lot of you are used to seeing it and just shrug it off ,but sometimes you got to do what is right.
Regardless of all that, I myself am a hard runner and try to do it safely.
It's really sad how some truckers just shrug off problems like this. One last thing, if the company has no problem doing this and feel no remorse or feelings about it, how much more do you think their taking advantage of you in other ways?
