Both De Jesus and the truck driver were third-party contractors, according to KATU.

BENEFIT CAR AND TRUCK SHOW

Were trying to help out a trucker whose career was cut short by some major medical issues. A fundraiser is being done with this show and a GO FUNDME PAGE is in place to take any donation who can give. 

This is Charles Parris, a father of two little girls and a fellow trucker or well until he had some major health issues while on the road. He has such issues like kidney failure, temporary loss of vision, brain damage, and congestive heart failure that ended his career early. So lets try and help a fellow driver out and donate what you can. Thank you and God Bless!
