	Truck system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A truck system is an exploitative form of employment — or, more specifically, unfree labour — under which workers are: paid in a form of limited direct credit or tokens, which may only be used at a company store, owned by their employers, or; paid in unexchangeable goods and/or services.
		Truck systems and company stores are sometimes identified with debt bondage, although the latter works through advances on wages; by contrast, truck systems exploit workers and their families by controlling consumption of essential items, such as food and accommodation.
		In the developed world, most truck systems died out in the early 20th century, as workers and unions became better organized.

		Every time a truck passes through a weigh-station, an electronic reader would sense the RFID devices and feed the truck and container’s location into a national truck tracking computer system.
		Cook says his system has tremendous advantages over another proposal to equip all trucks with a combination cell phone and global positioning system device which would be programmed to make a call to report the truck’s location every 15 minutes.
