Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2008 – A ruling issued today is being hailed by OOIDA as a significant win in the battle between the interests of big business and individuals. In ruling that the trial court judge made mistakes in handling an OOIDA case against mega-carrier Landstar System Inc., a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit made the strongest statement to date about how motor carriers are required to do business with leased owner-operators.
