Logistics Compliance Across Every State Line You Cross
From owner-operator agreements to peak-season hiring, get attorney-authored answers for every state in your network. Built on Littler Mendelson's employment law expertise, and written for the terminal manager who needs the answer before the next shift starts.
Freight Moves Fast. Employment Law Doesn't.
A carrier running terminals in four states is working under four sets of final pay clocks, break rules, and contractor tests, often for the same job title. Terminal and warehouse managers make hiring, scheduling, and separation calls every shift, usually from a handbook written for headquarters. In an industry where safety compliance has an automated system for everything, employment law is often the one still running on manual review and Google research.
The 1099 Question
An owner-operator can pass the federal test and fail a state ABC test on the same lane. The exposure follows the driver, not the contract.
The Exemption That Doesn't Travel
A federal overtime exemption for drivers doesn't always hold under state wage law. The same timecard can be compliant in one state and a claim in the next.
The Two-Rulebook Terminal
Drivers and dock crews at the same facility can fall under different break and overtime rules. One site policy rarely fits both.
What Logistics Teams Get with ComplianceHR
Answers your terminal and warehouse teams can act on, and records your counsel can stand behind.
Answers at shift speed
Plain-language guidance on final pay, breaks, leave, and hiring rules for every state you operate in, written by Littler attorneys. A terminal HR generalist gets a usable answer in the moment, without opening a ticket with Legal.
Classification you can prove
Evaluate owner-operators and exempt roles against federal and state tests in about 20 minutes instead of 7 to 8 hours of attorney review. Each evaluation ends in a scored risk report that shows your reasoning.
Policies that keep up with your network
Run one corporate handbook with state addenda for every terminal and DC. When a law changes, the update arrives redlined, and a 12-month timeline shows what's coming before you open the next building.

Three Moments That Test a Logistics HR Team
PEAK SEASON
300 seasonal hires, three states, starting in two weeks.
Check each state's new-hire, sick leave, and final pay rules in Reference Center, then generate state-specific offer letters in Document Center. When the season ends in January, separation deadlines are already mapped.
OWNER-OPERATORS
A dedicated lane into California, run by twelve owner-operators.
California's ABC test is stricter than the federal standard, and the difference is where claims start. Risk Center evaluates each driver against every applicable test and produces a scored risk report, so the decision is documented before the first load moves.
ACQUISITION
You bought a regional carrier. Its handbook came with it.
Their policies were written for two states you've never operated in. Policy Center builds compliant addenda for both, and redlines show exactly what changes, so drivers move onto your standards without a gap in coverage.
