TLTF will examine the terms, conditions, and equitability of common
truck leasing arrangements, particularly as they impact owner-operators
and trucking businesses subject to such agreements and submit a report
on the task force's identified issues and conclusions regarding truck
leasing arrangements, including recommended best practices, to the
Secretary, the Secretary of Labor, and the appropriate committees of

the United States Department of Labor.
The TLTF operates in accordance with FACA under the terms of the
TLTF charter, filed February 11, 2022.
