CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update

If your company utilizes owner-operators, legislators want to hear from them about why they want to be owner-operators and how codifying the Dynamex Decision takes away their ability to work. To protect the ability of your owner-operators to continue to work as they choose and to protect your business model, we urge you to have your owner-operators attend California Trucking Day on April 2.

Compliance and Regulatory News
The Clearinghouse final rule was published on December 5, 2016. It established a drug and alcohol clearinghouse and identified the roles and responsibilites of those who will be required to use it. The database will provide employers, FMCSA, State Driver Licensing Agencies, and State law enforcement with the ability to quickly identify drivers that are not legally permitted to drive a Commercial Motor Vehicle because of drug and alcohol program violations.
