So-called "independent" truckers who only do jobs for one shipper, e.g. like Uber or Lyft drivers:

"If ye love wealth better than liberty"
Independent trucker: I can make more money doing jobs for one shipper

"the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom"
Independent trucker: Less paperwork and tax hassles if I do jobs for one shipper

And that independent trucker works when he wants. If he doesn’t want to, he’s free to turn down the load.

This is a stupid law designed to force people to unionize. It will backfire badly.

Why does the government have to get in the middle of a contractor and what contracts he chooses to make or accept. If I make a contract with one company for a period of time,after the contract period ends I can make another contract with the same person/company or another one. It’s my choice, unless I am a slave/subject of the government, then that’s different.
