摘要：	THE OWNER-OPERATOR BUSINESS MODEL IN TRUCKING, an essential part of the industry that uses upwards of 1-million independent contractors at any given time, is under attack in California and the United States Congress in Washington. In California, a state law known as AB5 that would largely treat owner-operators in the trucking industry as company employees is being challenged in court by the California Trucking Association. It's arguing that the 1994 Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act blocks states from enacting such laws, creating an interstate commerce exemption for trucking companies. While that case is still being litigated, it's having a real-world impact on large interstate truckers. Schneider, the nation's 2nd-largest truckload carrier, has already stopped using California-domiciled owner-operators until the issue is settled. "It's still hung up in the courts," said Mark Rourke, president and CEO of Schneider. "There's some concern that the new [Biden] administration in Washington may be more favorable to that position."
