The Customized Logistics and Delivery Association

06/11/2026

Advocating for the future of customized logistics and delivery! ⚖️🏛️

CLDA President-Elect Ralph Perrothers, along with Phillip Heath Smith, Franz Schreiner, and Michael Taylor returned to Washington, D.C., to champion CLDA member interests. Our message was clear: modern logistics needs common-sense policy solutions that reflect how the industry actually operates.

What does that mean?
📜Clearer worker classification rules
📱Smarter use of technology
🔓Fewer regulatory barriers that slow down the businesses keeping freight, packages, and critical deliveries moving

Thank you CLDA Leaders for continuing to show up and make our voices are heard where it matters most. Learn more and get involved today: https://ow.ly/ruXJ50ZazPj
