As of mid-November 2007- Filed January 2003 in Circuit Court, Greene County, MO. This case challenges the carrier’s practice of charging owner-operators for workers’ comp insurance. It was dismissed by the original trial court, but OOIDA appealed. The Missouri Court of Appeals agreed that the case should be tried. It is now back before a Missouri Circuit Court. The case is moving forward with individual named plaintiffs, and OOIDA has requested a 2008 trial.
