## Resource

The trucking industry just got hit from every direction. The Supreme Court dropped a broker liability ruling that has brokers, carriers, and insurance companies scrambling. MOTUS is officially live and already changing the compliance game. And while all of that unfolds, Washington is pushing a new Highway Bill that could reshape freight, enforcement, and trucking operations for years to come. In other words… the rules just changed. On this episode of Brake Check, Charles sits down with Matthew Leffler along with Brandon Wiseman and Rob Carpenter from TruckSafe to break down: What the SCOTUS broker liability ruling REALLY means Why plaintiff attorneys are paying attention How MOTUS changes compliance overnight The mistakes fleets are already making What small carriers need to do NOW And whether trucking is heading toward accountability… or absolute legal chaos No fluff. No corporate spin. No “everything is fine” conference room nonsense. Just real trucking talk for real trucking people. If you’re a broker, carrier, fleet owner, dispatcher, safety director, or driver… this is the episode you cannot afford to miss. #Trucking #SCOTUS #BrokerLiability #MOTUS #FMCSA #Freight #OwnerOperator #TruckDrivers #BrakeCheck ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
