Mary O'Connell- 3PL Expert - FreightWaves - St. Louis, MO

- Let’s talk about non-competes and particularly enforcement - at the 3PL level, what’s the process of enforcement?
- Obviously with the FTC opening their comment period about ending non-competes, there’s a lot of passion on both sides. How enforceable are they and if they aren’t unless you’re willing to dedicate a legal team to this, what is the agreement that is enforceable that companies need to fall back on?
