Issues Impacting the Logistics Workforce

By:   Page Siplon, CEO, TeamOne Logistics

In this episode of The Logistics Workforce Update, we discuss projected performance of the 2020 freight market before digging into the many new laws and regulations impacting the trucking industry. There are plenty!

At 2:22 in the video, we look at California Assembly Bill 5 or “AB5”, which essentially eliminates the owner-operator trucking business model and industry in the state. Originally aimed at curbing independent contractor misclassification by rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft, AB5 would eliminate the ability for larger trucking companies to contract with owner-operators. Hear the latest on efforts to stop this bill.

At 7:22, we dig into federal regulation changes impacting trucking and transportation. Three years in the making, the Federal Commercial Drivers Drug and Alcohol Testing Clearinghouse is expected to sideline the 1 to 3% of current commercial truck drivers who have been able to use drugs or alcohol under the radar. Learn what this will cost companies and the benefits we could all see as fellow drivers and passengers on the roadways.
