[ELMHURST, ILLINOIS — April 14, 2026] — Super Ego Holding ("Super Ego"), a U.S.-based leasing company committed to transparency, compliance, and high standards of professional conduct, today responded to the misleading allegations broadcast in a recent 60 Minutes TV segment. The company calls on the public and media to understand a fundamental fact that the segment ignored entirely: Super Ego is an equipment leasing company, not a carrier company. Every claim made in the segment, including allegations about driver clocks, DOT rate sheets, DOT numbers, and pay, are false and derived from this central misunderstanding.
The American trucking industry is made up of distinct participants with distinct roles and functions. Leasing companies like Super Ego lease trucks, tractors, and trailers to third parties and individuals. Meaning, we do not transport freight. By contrast, carrier companies, licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, handle the actual movement of goods and bear full regulatory responsibility for their drivers, hours-of-service compliance, insurance, and cargo liability. Independent owner-operators who may lease vehicles from Super Ego and other leasing companies work under their own authority or contract with a carrier of their choosing.
Super Ego leases equipment to more than 1,200 licensed carrier companies. Those carriers employ their own drivers and dispatchers and maintain full authority over them. Super Ego does not hire, pay, supervise, or contract drivers or dispatchers who are not employees or independent contractors. When a carrier's driver arrives at a Super Ego facility to pick up a truck bearing the Super Ego name or causes dangerous conditions on the road, that driver works for the carrier and not for Super Ego. The segment was especially misleading by exclusively showing video clips of Super Ego trailers, when carrier trailers have no marking requirements and are rarely connected to the carrier that is operating the tractor.
Super Ego also operates a subsidiary in the freight brokerage space called Super Ego Logistics, that conducts business as Gray Falcon United. Since its inception, Gray Falcon has worked with more than 6,000 interstate carriers licensed within their own active authority. Gray Falcon is a licensed freight broker that connects shippers with carriers. It is not a carrier, and it exercises no operational control over either shippers or carriers.
