Penske files Supreme Court appeal over California truck driver rules

摘要

Penske Logistics has filed a petition seeking to have the United States Supreme Court review the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in the matter of Dilts et al versus Penske Logistics LLC and Penske Truck Leasing Co LP. The crux of the case is whether a long-standing federal transportation law that seeks to promote lower rates and better service by ensuring that rates and services are determined by competitive market forces rather than a patchwork of varying state laws preempts California's state laws requiring mandatory meal and rest breaks.
