California Owner Operators....some new US Court Ruling....

So you create two companies. One that makes "widgets." The other that moves freight. Give your freight company the gig to move your non-existent widgets.

 

still a common carrier so the DOT and state and insurance company may have something to say about that. The warehouse already is another company name but the two are tied together, 2nd gen family owned; imports came from aparel customers' freight going off shore. Plus the company guys often pull the MT containers back to our yard after their LTL runs. It is all tied together.

 

Very true in LA and Long Beach but the NJ port realy does not have 'mega' buy a job programs but they are doing what they do best, being the 2nd state to follow Cali for anything green or stupid...

Back when they jumped onto the ABC test bandwagon the state DOJ sent out a letter to be posted in all NJ businesses informing employees what miss-classification is and how to rat out their employer...

 

I wonder if that impacts others outside of the trucking industry, like Lyft and Uber drivers, or some of those home health nurses as well. I could be wrong about the latter as I don't know as much about jobs within the medical field

 

I suspect you will have a place invite o/o and Megas. Like happened with banking. So everyone will just incorporate there. Give them a nice tax revenue and tell abc to kya

 

Yes i believe it will effect every 1099 contractor who gets their work from an employer that they dont have an ownership stake in.. Which effects alot of people.. More than i think the government understands...

 

But Lyft and Uber are carved out.

 

I hear ya. I don't think this will be over by a long shot. The ironic thing is the government made laws, and allowed loopholes to be taken advantage of.

 

Where does it say that? There is no mention of services like uber and lyft. Unless i missed it. The only things i saw that were not under the abc test were lawyers, sales people and other mentioned like that.

 

That is what they government does best.. They are here to help !
