The following 7th Circuit Court of Appeals opinion was posted after IL deadline Wednesday:
Hubert E. Walker, on behalf of himself and a class v. Trailer Transit Inc.
15-1482
United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt.
Civil. Affirms drivers are not entitled to profits from special services such as licenses, escort vehicles and wide-load signs Trailer Transit provides because the language is not in the contract between the company and the drivers. The drivers are guaranteed 71 percent of all revenue obtained from rental of their rigs, but the contract does not state they are entitled to 71 percent of the special services profits as well.
