Last Friday, CTA's CEO Eric Sauer was the featured guest on Road Dog Trucking. During this interview, Sauer spoke about his new role as ceo for the association and his vision for the future.

 

He also provided an update on the status of AB 5 after the Supreme Court's denial to hear CTA v. Bonta, the association's case challenging the new classification tests codified by this measure. 

 

Additional topics included truck parking, the warehousing and the 2022 National Truck Driving Championships, which are taking place this week August 16-19, 2022 in Indianapolis, Indiana.   

The Innovative Small E-Fleet (ISEF) Set-Aside is a small funding source separate from the larger HVIP program exclusively for small fleets.

 

 

A fleet with 20 or fewer trucks and less than $15 million in revenue can qualify for ISEF funding for Class 6-8 zero-emission trucks and for zero-emission charging infrastructure. There is a total $25 million available on a first-come, first served basis. 

 

Class 6-7 trucks have a maximum voucher amount of $170,000 and Class 8 trucks have a maximum voucher amount of $240,000.

In an attempt to assist the tens of thousands of independent drivers affected by the implementation of AB 5 on the trucking industry, the California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA) has developed a guide.

 

The Business Quick Start Guide for Freight Trucking provides links and information to resources relevant to the trucking industry. 

 

As described by CalOSBA:
This Quick Start Guide is only one source of information among the many sources that are available to you. You may wish to consider multiple sources to make an informed decision. You are solely responsible for deciding how to form and create your business. You are responsible for determining whether the information you obtain through your use of this guide is suitable for your purposes. 

 

Be assured that CTA continues to advocate for additional claritiy on how independent drivers can comply with AB 5 and will provide our members with information as it becomes available.
