California Trucking Law, AB5 Independent Contractors
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to California's AB5 law, which requires independent truck drivers to be classified as employees. This ruling affects approximately 90% of the 9,000 trucks serving the Port of Oakland daily. Industry experts warn that this will lead to significant labor shortages and supply chain disruptions as owner-operators are forced out of the market.
