Ruling Hit On Carrier Control By High Court
The U S Supreme Court ruled Florida's contract carrier law unconstitutional, undoing recent state efforts to regulate auto transportation firms under contract. The ruling challenges laws in Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, and Texas, and hampers state attempts to tax and control private and contract carriers alike. The decision strains railroad interests, which lobbied for similar rules, and underscores a shift away from treating private carriers as common carriers.
