Warning all leased O/O

Sorry I dont have a better answer brother!

 

I don't think anybody has a better answer for the brilliance that happens there.

 

They have operating authority as a motor carrier so anyone on their authority is an independent contractor and would no longer be able to lease on to run under their authority under the PRO act.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe landstar has an MC number... That means they are a trucking company... Therefore they are in the business of moving freight.

 

The law does not prohibit all hiring of independent contractors. It only prohibits hiring them to do the same work you're already doing. So the question becomes "does having a DOT number equal moving freight?"

Maybe a company can comply with the law by not having any company drivers. Which then begs the question: did the original LA drayage company which spurred the original law also have company drivers while it was mistreating it's 1099ers?

Your right, and I did a less then stellar job typing what I meant.

It would not effect brokerage. Yes it would effect them on transportation with leased owner ops.

My bad, I'm not sure what I was thinking. Scratch that post.

 

I was 100% wrong in what I said. Idk were my thoughts were going with that

My bad. You are right. And I know better.

 

It wasn't upheld ... there was a stay granted pending litigation. The court lifted the stay allowing enforcement while in litigation.
