CTA, OOIDA to appeal court decision upholding AB5 in California trucking

The California Trucking Association and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association will appeal last month’s decision that rejected their latest attempt to block imposition of California independent contractor law AB5 on the state’s trucking sector.

The decision to appeal the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, filed Friday with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, came as something of a surprise given the consensus in the trucking legal community...

Further appeals to block AB5 from California trucking seen as a long shot

California’s trucking industry is facing the reality that its battle to keep the state’s AB5 independent contractor law out of the trucking sector is likely at a dead end.

Appeals are possible of the decision Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California that emphatically rejected all the arguments by the California Trucking Association (CTA) and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association. But several observers of the legal battle that has gone on for more...

Groups lose latest court attempt to block California’s AB5 from state’s trucking sector

In a sweeping decision, a federal district court judge in California on Friday rejected arguments that the state’s independent contractor law, AB5, should be barred from regulating California’s trucking industry.

Judge Roger Benitez of the California federal district court for the state’s Southern district not only failed to order a new injunction, he also tossed out the case brought by the California Trucking Association (CTA) and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), with...

SoCal warehouse emissions rule, and possible impact on trucks, upheld by judge

A rule regulating emissions at Southern California warehouses, which the state’s trucking industry viewed as akin to a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, has been upheld by a federal district court.

In a ruling earlier this month, Judge John Kronstadt of the Central District of California rejected claims in a lawsuit filed by the California Trucking Association (CTA) that a warehouse emissions rule approved in May 2021 by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) was preempted...

California Trucking Association sues to block Advanced Clean Fleets rule

With the first requirements of California’s Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule set to go in effect  in just a few weeks, the California Trucking Association (CTA) has asked a federal court to block the regulation’s implementation.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, requests both a preliminary and permanent injunction to stop the California Air Resources Board (CARB) from enforcing the rule.

AB5 3-ring legal circus: Full federal appeals court may hear Olson case

The “other” AB5 case in California — overshadowed by the better-known case brought by the California Trucking Association (CTA) — is awaiting word from the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on what happens next.

California partially lost the case against AB5 brought by Uber and Postmates in March before a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit. The state of California is the defendant.

That decision, known as Olson after the lead plaintiff in the case first filed in 2019, said app-based...
