Last Thursday, more than 150 independent truckers descended the capitol to make their voices heard and asked the California Legislature to fix AB 5. This was not a CTA sponsored event, but the industry stands with independent truckers. 

“This is much more than a story about traffic inconveniences in downtown Sacramento on a Thursday in early September. This is a story about businessmen and businesswomen, who made a decision, in many cases 10, 15, 20 years ago or more, to invest well over $100,000 of their money into a truck and start their own business as an independent owner-operator, not an employee driver."

On Sept. 6, 2019, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published a request for comments on a compliance date extension for the requirement that states request information from the Commercial Drivers’ License (CDL) Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse before completing certain CDL transactions. The original compliance date was Jan. 6, 2020. The proposed extension would change the compliance date to Jan. 6, 2023. Comments are due by Oct. 7.
