Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act preempts a state law that effectively precludes motor carriers from using independent owner-operators to provide trucking services

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTION PRESENTED The Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (““FA”) expressly preempts state laws “related to a price, route, or service, of any motor carrier.” 49 U.S.C. § 14501(c)(1). The question presented is whether the FA preempts the application to motor carriers of a state law that effectively precludes motor carriers from using independent owner-operators to provide trucking services.
