Knowledge Check: Can you force drivers to hire help? : Answer

Answer: No. Under lumping laws in the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995, it is illegal to force or attempt to force a driver to load or unload, or to force the driver to employ someone else to load or unload. While it is acceptable for a driver to hire someone to load or unload, the driver cannot be forced to do so.

If the driver is required to hire someone to load or unload, then the shipper or receiver must compensate the driver.

The intention of the provision is to give the driver the option of loading or unloading themselves or choosing to pay for assistance. Nothing in the law prohibits drivers from loading or unloading the vehicle themselves.
