So I am aware of the https://www.usworker.coop/directory/ but I notice that some of the worker owned companies that I know of are not on this list, and it seems difficult to find a more comprehensive list of them anywhere. I think worker cooperatives are a great thing that really need greater exposure as a whole, and being able to find companies that are worker owned would be a massive boon to this movement as it would allow us a better chance at mobilizing against the typical business model that stands on class conflict. Unionized workplaces are sometimes difficult to search for as well, so if anyone also has a tool for searching for unionized workplaces on a mass scale, that would also be helpful, but primarily I want to be able to index worker ownership.

Will book a load with you and tell you driver is almost their the whole day and he doesn't even make it in time for pick that day. Also screws over its own drivers on pay and their slogan is "if you want to drive for free drive for Z"

Complete idiot dispatchers in Scott in NY and Shawn in CT. Read google reviews about them ripped off old lady for $1100. Their broker department doesn't pay trucking companies that haul for them.
- Danny Logistics, Glendale CA
I have never seen a company rise to the level of the hate so quickly as this company. The have had an amazing rise in the level of horrible service and hate in a short amount of time. The rise is similar in hate to rapper 69
- Landstar.
Don't need to say much about these guys everybody knows how horrible they our. 1 of the only companies that I have seen were landstar agents would call other landstar agents trying to double broker their loads not evening know their actual landstar agents
- NATL out of Cali
Some people might be shocked in this pick. But i have never a lack of ethics and just complete idiots like this company. The absolute lowest form of you human live in this industry. If you book any load with them be prepared for the worst day of your life.
Besides Daimler and Nikola what companies have semis in production? How many trucks do these companies have on the market?
Over the past five years, the United States has made meaningful progress in the development of advanced nuclear reactor designs critical to keeping the country on the cutting edge of nuclear technology. The latest step is the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) selection of TerraPower and X-Energy to each receive $80 million in the initial year, for a total of $160 million in initial funding as part of its new Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), the first installment of a seven-year, cost-shared partnership to deploy the first two commercial-scale advanced reactors. These positive trends signal a growing need for DOE to address a key challenge that many reactor developers face as they move toward deployment: the lack of a reliable source of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) for fuel.
Edit: I hate car centric urban and suburban planning. I mean all cars suck in the sense that electric cars and self driving cars will not solve our traffic congestion problems. Rural areas don't typically have traffic jams, so they're not really what I'm talking about.
I'll start of by saying I am not even talking about the environment/global warning/fossil fuels (do I have to?). First and foremost we have committed Americans to a $30,000 commitment to exist. If you decide to get a car within your price range of $5000, you're now paying repair costs that could potentially be more expensive than than $30,000 investment... great.
But sure, maybe you don't care about poor people.
Cars ruin cities and towns. American LAWS remove pedestrian rights in favor of automobile rights. Zoning and city planning LAWS make the suburban wastelands the only legal way to plan a neighborhood. Compare this to European towns and it becomes obvious why this sucks. It's not possible to build a bar or pub within walking distance. Children have no easy path towards independence until they can drive which negatively affects development. Cities/suburbs are simply not convenient or desirable. I emphasize laws because Americans WANT better urban planning. "Human-scale" neighborhoods quickly see their property values skyrocket.
Last but not least... traffick. We build more roads in the most pathetic futile effort of easing traffic congestion possible. Wider roads with more lanes do NOT reduce traffic, just ask the Houston-Katy freeway.
Most Americans live in ignorance, never knowing any better. I did. I came across "Not Just Bikes" on YouTube... it was my exit the matrix sort of moment. So many issues I just took for granted became so obvious. It was really depressing. I had a sports car and I love engineering, so it was not easy for me to swallow. Keep in mind there are plenty of other reason why American car centric urban planning is toxic. I highly recommend Not Just Bikes on YT if you're interested.
One of my favorite wikipedia articles.

A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that another 16% believe the United States should never transition to electric vehicles.
Only 26% believe the U.S. should transition to electric vehicles as quickly as possible.
Underlying those attitudes is concern about the fact that China is the world’s largest producer of batteries needed for electric vehicles. As America makes the transition to electric cars, 66% of voters are worried that we might be dependent upon China for those batteries. Twenty-six percent (26%) are not worried and 9% are not sure.
Those totals include 34% who are very worried and 9% who are not at all worried.
