A B5

I think you're talking about AB5. BOC 3 is for having a process agent, so that you have somebody in each state to accept legal papers or something.

 

Basically it will mean no one can lease onto a trucking company. You would have to have your own authority or be a company driver. If it goes through nationwide I'm going local.

 

No that’s wrong, it means that you can no longer be a sole proprietor with a lease to a carrier or contracting company, not a thing about leasing through your own company where you are an employee of it - the way around the bs.

 

I still would talk to a lawyer If it actually happens. The way they made AB5 sound was what I said. Wrong or right I'm not a lawyer lol.

 

if necessary Mercer and Landstar and Schneider will probably provide turn-key means of securing individual authority and insurance, referral/guidance/processing/financing, like OOIDA does but actually hand held through the process, they like to make it dead easy so you keep moving. Like Schneider has SFI to lease a truck through but you can take the truck anywhere, all done in the next office and all tied in and paid for with your weekly settlements, they will put together either a referral package or maybe even start their own insurance department and authority processing department to keep everybody set up.

if it really has any real chance of being nationally implemented the $$$$$ suits at corporate knew about it yesterday and already have plans to keep their loaded trailers moving.

no way are Mercer/Landstar/Schneider going to 1. let their contract freight mover pool just dry up, or 2. leave it up to the current contractor freight mover pool to just "come back when you get it"
