Thank you to all our members who attended the June Policy Committee Meetings. The Policy Committee meetings covered issues that are impacting the trucking industry and provided members an opportunity to provide input and direction.

In response to the recent California Supreme Court's decision in the Dynamex case, CTA's Executive Committee approved CTA to look into a litigation strategy that the Association could pursue. However, the strategy is contingent upon the Association having adequate funds to pursue litigation. As has worked in previous litigation efforts that the Association has been a named party to, contributions from CTA members and other trucking industry stakeholders has allowed us the ability to pursue litigation.

The San Joaquin Unit Truckin' For Hospice was a great success! The event brings together hundreds of bikers riding for one common cause, to benefit Hospice of San Joaquin and Community Hospice.

As some of you may have seen already, Reps. Rick Crawford (R-AR), Sanford Bishop (D-GA) and Bruce Westerman (R-AR) introduced the Honest Operators Undertake Road Safety Act (HOURS Act).
