What happens when a trucking kid grows up to become the industry’s “Armchair Attorney”? Matthew Leffler is a third-generation trucking professional turned lawyer who has made it his mission to explain freight’s most complicated legal battles in plain English.
From nuclear verdicts to AB5 fallout, broker transparency fights to chassis choice rulings—he translates court cases into actionable strategies carriers and brokers can actually use. If you’ve ever felt lost in the legal jargon but know your business depends on getting it right, this conversation is for you.
Key takeaways:
- Broker transparency debates will reshape contracts, workflows, and margins.
- Carriers can mitigate nuclear verdict risks by controlling safety and documentation.
- AB5 compliance requires pragmatic playbooks for carriers and owner-operators.
- Chassis choice rulings are a rare legal win, lowering costs for motor carriers.
- Non-compete clauses often stifle careers more than they protect brokerages.
