CTA in Action: Government Affairs Update
CTA/CARGO PAC would like to invite you to a breakfast for Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell’s reelection we are co-sponsoring with the Harbor Trucking Association on December 3 at 8:00 AM at the Shoreline Yacht Club. Assemblymember O’Donnell has been one of the industry’s best advocates in Sacramento. 
 

CTA has been fighting to protect the industry from the "ABC test" created by the Dynamex Supreme Court Decision even before AB 5 was introduced. In 2018, CTA and two California independent owner-operator truck drivers sued the State of California to prevent the application of the “ABC” test to the trucking industry. On November 12, CTA amended its lawsuit to add claims challenging AB 5, but we will not be able to defeat AB 5 without your help. We are asking you to consider making a contribution to the litigation.

With the 2019-2020 winter months upon us, I'd like to call your attention to the California Trucking Association's (CTA) Pusher Truck Program, one of the many CTA member benefits that makes a difference for thousands of trucking companies each year as they pass the tough mountain climb on Interstate 80.

CTA Highlights

CTA brought the NextGen Women in Trucking Panel to Southern California in November 2019. The event allowed members who didn’t have a chance to attend the Northern California event attend in San Diego. Panelists shared their stories, knowledge, and answered attendee questions. Lynnette Brown with KKW Trucking, Val Liese with JJT Logistics, Devon Ades with Apex Logistics, and Theresa Payne with Hyundai Translead served as the panelists. Thank you Trucking Proud Insurance for hosting and ICW Group for sponsoring! The event would not have been possible without Trucking Proud and ICW.
