Episode 60: Dealing with the Fallout of California's AB5 Independent Contractor Law Blue Ribbon Podcast

In the last week, Landstar has begun notifying its BCO's (Business Capacity Operators) that they can only continue to be leased to Landstar if they: move out of the state or accept that they cannot pick up any loads in the state where they reside. We took this opportunity to discuss the elements of this story that no one else is talking about - Where did this come from and where do we go from here? The peer-to-peer economy is here to stay. Uber and Lyft are just the beginning of a shift that is happening in the global economy. Everything is about to change and these independent contractor mis-classification laws are a distraction and and a last desperate attempt for the establishment to hold onto its waning power.
