ATA WEBINAR: How the ABC Test for Independent Contractor Status Applies in the Post Dynamex Era

This ATA webinar provides a detailed description of an alternative independent contractor model, under which a carrier uses broker or freight forwarder authority to contract with an owner-operator working under his or her own motor carrier authority, in contrast to the more common independent contractor model. It offers a pros and cons assessment of the model and cites case law of recent relevance upon which to forecast potential litigation outcomes. Its significance to states applying an ABC test for determining driver work status is of keen interest following the California Supreme Court’s April 30th Dynamex decision.

Greg Feary is President of the firm and also serves as a managing partner who practices primarily in a wide range of areas including transportation laws, independent contractor laws, transportation insurance laws, legislative support and transportation contract matters. He is the Vice Chair of the American Trucking Associations (ATA)/National Accounting & Finance Council (NAFC) Risk Management & Insurance Advisory Committee and a member of the ATA Insurance Task Force for which he serves as Chairman of the Lawyer’s Subcommittee. He also served as ATA’s national transportation insurance law counsel throughout the 1990s.

As a special offer, we're opening this webinar to not only members of the American Trucking Associations, but also Independent Contractors through the California State Association.
