Broker Transparency – Why It’s Both Unnecessary and Burdensome to Industry

Nov 22, 2024 at 09:18 AM CST

The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) is deeply disappointed in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) decision to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on broker transparency while neglecting to address the far more critical and costly issue of freight fraud.

Freight fraud continues to inflict more than $1 billion in losses annually on the U.S. supply chain, threatening the efficiency and security of our nation’s logistics system. By prioritizing an outdated and unnecessary regulatory debate, FMCSA has chosen to misdirect its resources and attention, leaving a glaring and urgent problem unaddressed.
