San Diego Partner James Fessenden and Los Angeles Associate Anet Drapalski look at the recent passage of California AB 5 and how it might affect trucking services in their byline article for Transport Topics. James and Anet break down the new law’s rigid ABC test, and they warn the “B” prong of the test may be the most challenging hurdle for companies to classify workers as independent contractors. James and Anet discuss how trucking companies should proceed in the wake of the new law, encouraging companies to assess their independent contractor and business-to-business relationships to mitigate any potential exposure.
