All Non Compete Clauses for Drivers Ending 4 Sept 2024

Non Compete Clauses started for legitimate reasons at the executive level so that they couldn’t leave with sensitive information and take it to a competitor for money.

Since then they have slowly been pushed down for illegitimate reasons against blue collar workers like truckers as a way to handcuff you to a job. “Leave this job and you can’t get another job driving within 150 miles of where you worked. Fight it and we’ll pummel you with lawsuits.”

Well that’s officially over. On April 23, 2024 the Federal Trade Commission ruled that those bull #### Non Compete Clauses will not be legally enforceable against people like CDL drivers starting on September 4, 2024.

To keep you, they will have to offer competitive working conditions as if you’re an actual human being. Imagine that. Congratulations to those suffering under one now. You’ll soon be free.
