Pleasanton Transportation Law Attorneys

Representing Transportation and Logistics Companies Across the Spectrum of Transportation Law Matters

Trucking is a heavily regulated industry. Like any other business, transportation and logistics companies deal with contracts and employment matters. However, these companies deal with such issues in a different regulatory environment than other businesses, with a host of issues unique to the transportation industry.

In addition to labor issues, a multitude of other areas come under the control of the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and other government agencies. At Garcia & Gurney A Law Corporation, our lawyers are experienced in advising and representing businesses on the particular issues that arise in the transportation field. We regularly represent transportation and logistics companies in matters such as:

Bills of lading terms and conditions
Subcontractor contracting
Cargo insurance
International transactions
Freight claims
Department of Transportation regulation compliance
Trucker employment practices
Supply chain strategy and management

Attorneys Advising Businesses on Labor Issues in the Transportation Industry

Hours of service rules for truckers are more complex than the general overtime rules for workers in most other industries. We help transportation companies with planning and compliance regarding a host of labor issues in the transportation industry, including wage & hour issues under the Fair Labor Standards Act and union matters regulated by the National Labor Relations Board. We help trucking companies stay in compliance with the law while maintaining an efficient and productive workforce.
