The ruling is “a massive victory for California’s truck drivers, who for far too long have faced exploitation and misclassification at the hands of trucking companies that place corporate profit ahead of drivers’ safety and well-being,” the International Brotherhood of Teamsters said in a statement.

I don't think this will work out as well as the Union Thugs and their Brown Shirt members think it will. Things are about to downhill in this godforsaken tarnished State, and Fast!! If you haven't yet, the time to stock up is NOW, this will put a Halt to 70,000 Independent Truckers making Daily Deliveries across this State! Major Shortages in 1,2,3...
Wait until the Rats implement this nation-wide.
Oh dear ping.
Hi.
The AP writer is so ignorant that I shouldn’t even comment.
Y’all in CA enjoy your lyft and Uber while you can.

That should raise West-East cross-country freight rates another 25% or so.
Freight is already a mess in this country. LTL trucking is the worst I’ve ever seen it. Thanks to this idiocy, it can only get worse.
A large strike by indy owner-ops would bring this country to its knees.
Goggle “America’s Trucking Network” for more.
(and, no, I am not a trucker or a klik weasel)
It’s just something — trucker’s atitudes — for a very long while.
so now everything we attempt to purchase will cost more
Each state has to pass something similar, as of now doubt Florida and Texas will.
The Left - is there anything that they CANNOT turn into a Charlie Foxtrot?
Add that to the upcoming supply chain issues...
Well something is out of kilter...
We have a huge demand for freight to be hauled, and yet:
Independent truckers and Trucking companies are struggling to survive.
Trucking is not seen to be a good way to make a living anymore..
These realities fly flat into the face of the law of supply and demand.
In supply and demand If there is so much freight to move, truckers should be able to get more $$ for the loads and be more profitable.
I realize regualtions have really made things difficult, but should stop the rates from going up due to the demand.
So what gives?
should NOT stop the rates ....
9th circus will be overturned again.
Nuts will lose
There are so many trucks going up and the i5/us99, this ruling will put a big dent in that traffic
so far, not one thing
schools, what used to be our individual liberties, economics, income taxation, some churches... everything the commie/nazi/left touches they screw up
everything
“The ruling is “a massive victory for California’s truck drivers”
Will they still think it’s a massive victory when they lose their jobs?
Apparently AB5 is not a big issue for any independent trucker who runs his business correctly. It's amazing how many people try to run a business as a "contractor" without having even so much as a separate bank account for the business. These are giant red flags for the IRS even without AB5 in California.
Exactly. They manage to turn everything they touch into a steaming pile of doggy doughnuts.
Could you please explain what this decision means? What are the ramifications? Thanks.
