Advising the Businesses that Keep Goods Moving
Our Trucking and Logistics team represents stakeholders in every aspect of freight movement and supply chain operations across the United States.
We counsel on regulatory compliance—including FMCSA and DOT safety standards, NHTSA regulations, licensing and permitting, hazardous materials transport and environmental requirements—helping clients stay current as rules evolve.
We structure and negotiate carrier, broker, warehousing and distribution agreements, and we advise on all types of commercial contracts vital to logistics operations. Sheppard’s lawyers routinely guide clients through workforce issues such as independent contractor and employee classification, wage and hour compliance, labor disputes, collective bargaining and workplace safety. We advise clients on matters related to the growth of gig economy platforms and emerging technology-enabled business models.
