Glaringly left out of the article. Did California dictators bother to ask the gig workers affected by these rules?
Eventually shipping companies would find other west coast alternatives, whether Canada, Mexico or even Central America.
The problem is this would take years to do, so the immediate impact would be a disaster.
Have all of that an more and a working farm. Family has owned/operated farms in this county since 1889.
Produce is seasonal, much of it comes from MX and Central America in off season.
CA is being destroyed by the insane. Pure #ComDem_Insanity! Aimed at destroying the USA.
Problem is most clients will not be allowed to send you a 1099 if you don’t meet the contractor test.”
If you form a one-person corporation instead of being a sole proprietorship you do not need a 1099.
It is cheap to form the corporation but there are more hoops to jump through as far as filing a separate tax return for the business.
There’s already a truck driver shortage. This should do wonders for the problem.
I suspect that’s because a lot of those owner/operator drivers are operating in multiple states, and this is just a precautionary measure.
But the truckers from Mexico crossing under NAFTA?
ultimately, this is just another fascist ploy to destroy ALL small businesses and require EVERYONE who wants a job to be employed by one of a handful of oligarchs because that’s how fascism works: control of a small number of monopolies is SO much easier than trying to control millions of small, independent businesses ... that’s EXACTLY how Hitler did it ...
Is no one going to ask what the devil the FAA has to do with anything regarding the trucking industry? The FAAAA is mighty impressive, isn’t it?
Flight instructors faced this problem in CA in the 80’s as I recall. They were always considered independent contractors and won their battle and the FAA had absolutely nothing to do with any of the idiotic proposed legislation in Sacramento. We owned and operated a flight school in Southern CA and all our instructors set their own schedule with their own students. That profession WAS always run that way and I assume (being out of it for a number of years now) is still conducted in the same manner and the legislation was probably defeated on that basis.

SS No the companies cannot comply with the regulations with the owner ops domiciled in California that are leased to them.
Even if those owner ops just do intrastate deliveries the companies still cannot comply with the regulations.
The only way the trucking companies can run leased owner ops interstate and intrastate in California is if the company and the owner op is not domiciled in .Ca.
This is the death of owner operator Truckers that live in .Ca.
