Governor Of California PANICS As Trucking Industry COLLAPSES!
Californias trucking industry is collapsing after AB5 effectively banned the independent owner operator business model. The California Trucking Association dropped its legal fight after four and a half years warning the law eliminates owner operators as independent contractors. Now major carriers like Landstar are telling 70000 truckers to leave the state entirely. California handles 40 percent of all shipping containers entering the United States through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Every container moves on a truck. As truckers flee the state and refuse California originating loads the supply chain that serves the entire western United States is losing capacity.
