A new California labor law is spurring an increase in trucking fees. This year California began requiring that companies pay their drivers for time spent refueling, on rest breaks, and other periods.

Some companies have added a surcharge to freight moving in and out of the state to offset the additional cost.
This is a great example of an enterprise risk.
