Intermodal Industry Applauds Ruling on Independent Contractors
Statement by 最新麻豆视频 President & CEO Anne Reinke
CALVERTON, MD (February 27, 2026) 鈥 Today, the U.S. Department of Labor issued a rule proposal that would replace the current analysis for determining employee status, allowing for greater independent contractor categorization under the Fair Labor Standards Act. If finalized, the new regulation would protect hundreds of thousands of intermodal truck drivers from forced reclassification. 最新麻豆视频 President & CEO Anne Reinke offered the following statement:
鈥淭he proposed ruling would be a win for the 400,000 drayage drivers who choose to work as independent contractors. The IC business model is essential to the intermodal industry on which the United States depends, and this federal labor policy - a return to the previous policy 鈥 unlocks opportunity for the workers that support it.鈥
