In a transportation industry that’s becoming increasingly complicated, preventing misclassification claims can be challenging, especially without the proper technology and business model in place. But for companies that work with independent contractors, the most comprehensive and defensible approach against misclassification may be the broker–carrier model, which offers a potential path out of the quagmire of the ABC test’s B prong.
