Some time back, an uber driver named Lydia Olson challenged California’s AB5 independent contractor law – a case that potentially has implications for the trucking industry. Now, the case is potentially headed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and OOIDA has stepped in to represent truckers’ interests. OOIDA Advocacy Counsel Paul Torlina fills us in.
