CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
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."
