LOS ANGELES — California operators will gather Feb. 10 to get some helpful updates and information on two of the most difficult industry challenges: Competition from Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) and recent changes in employment laws.
Music Express CEO Cheryl Berkman, who is the president of Advocates for Fairness in Transportation, returns to the Greater California Livery Association stage for more of her straight talk on TNCs and strategies the industry should use in working toward regulatory fairness among TNCs and chauffeured transportation companies. Berkman appeared at the GCLA Expo on Sept. 23, 2014 with NLA board director and Commonwealth Worldwide CEO Dawson Rutter in a rousing appeal to fight for the industry’s survival.
