If you’re a company driver in California you can expect to earn $17,400 less per year than your owner-operator counterparts, according to a new study released recently.
That study found owner-operators in California earned $59,478 compared to company drivers’ $42,078.
Todd Dills, writing at “Overdrive”, explains:
“The report, released by the California Trucking Association and the Southern California-based Inland Empire Economic Partnership nonprofit, uses 2013 owner-operator data and 2014 government data on company drivers.
“The report comes at a time when allegations of the misclassification of independent contractors, particularly in port drayage operations, are on the rise as a result of union organizing efforts. CTA intermodal conference director Alex Cherin declined to comment on any import the study held for union/non-union issues.”
