Last week, Robert Roginson with Ogletree Deakins and CTA staff reviewed CTA's legal strategy for the Dynamex litigation and answered member questions.  View webinar slides

Background on Dynamex Decision
In May, the Dynamex decision created a new test that makes motor carrier-independent driver relationships nearly impossible. If your company utilizes owner-operators, you may now be liable for wage and hour violations. Misclassification claims can cost your company up to $300,000 to $400,000 per driver.

More Information CTA's Dynamex Litigation
Following the direction of the California Trucking Association’s (CTA) Executive Committee, CTA and two California independent owner-operators filed a lawsuit at the end of October seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from the Dynamex Decision. Ogletree Deakins has been retained to represent California Trucking Association and the two owner-operators. A copy of the legal complaint can be found here.

Trucking has faced many obstacles over the last decade; CARB, Piece Rate, PAGA, ELDs, the continued onslaught of over regulation… Thanks to the foresight of previous CTA leadership we have overcome or minimized many of those obstacles and we must maintain our efforts on those fronts, but the future holds a new direction for the industry. There are many opportunities, challenges and decisions to make. The question is where we go from here; as an industry, an association, a business, and individually/personally. As a CTA member, you are informed and kept on the forefront of issues and technology. You are in the know of what the predictable future holds. You have the power to influence, shape and create our industry.

Attend CTA’s Annual Membership Conference as we come together to not only prepare for our future, but help DEFINE OUR FUTURE.
