There are also the l/p operators that have paid off their truck, had JCT sell it for them and then ordered a new truck from dealership and Three Diamond Leasing bought said truck and then leased it to same driver. We know a couple of married teams who have done just that.
Of course there are a few drivers who have brought their own truck and leased on with JCT. -
There is at least one (probably more) driver(s) who run California dedicated who own their own truck but pull JCT trailers all over the state.

Edit: Just heard on the radio that New Jersey has a similar law. Not as wide of a scope, but are looking at expanding it to be more in line with California. There is also 3 Presidential candidates (Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris) support the law. Also, OOIDA fully backs the law.Last edited: Oct 1, 2019

They're not backing it, per se. They're saying that it could have some benefits as far as the companies that do wrongly classify drivers as ICs.
OOIDA an outlier on A.B. 5’s implications
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, despite the warnings of other trade groups and attorneys about the law’s implications, has spun A.B. 5 as some what of a positive, or at least a neutral, development.
In a statement to Overdrive, OOIDA says that carriers in California have been wrongfully classifying drivers “for decades.” The group supported the legislation’s passage.
“Lease-purchase schemes have plagued the industry for a long time, and there are plenty of carriers that take advantage of traditional lease agreements as well,” the group said. “However, there are equally as many truck drivers that truly are independent and we’re concerned that codifying a complex court decision [Dynamex] might go too far. Our hope is that this legislation will force motor carriers in California to rethink the way they treat drivers and either hire them as employees or restructure traditional lease agreements to give owner-operators real independence.”Last edited: Oct 1, 2019

And, it don't only affect trucking. It will apply to lots of other industries that use the IC model in any form. It for sure will affect the ports in California. Which from what I understand is someone upwards of 90% IC drivers (mis-classified or not). This law will wreak California's economy. And this might sound mean, but I hope it does and opens the eyes of the dumb###sery of the leaders they put into office. And if one of the 3 Presidential Candidates that support this law (and makes it nation wide) makes into the White House.....then oh boy are we in for a world of hurt.jeff18, Jarhed1964, 88 Alpha and 3 others Thank this.
