Broker accountability is a critical part of freight safety.

When safety is not a requirement in carrier selection, unsafe operators can continue to win freight and operate without consequences. Strengthening accountability helps ensure brokers prioritize safety performance, limit access for high-risk carriers, and support higher industry standards.

Without it, the system risks rewarding the lowest cost over the safest option, creating a race to the bottom that puts everyone on the road at greater risk.

Uneven or under-secured loads can quickly become dangerous on the road. A simple rule makes a big difference: load evenly and use at least one tiedown per 10 feet.

These best practices are not just compliance details, they are critical safety steps that protect drivers, equipment, and everyone around them.

Safety starts before the wheels move.

Increasing the federal minimum insurance requirement ensures that only adequately capitalized, safety-conscious carriers operate on our roadways.

The current $750,000 minimum, unchanged since 1980, no longer reflects the true cost of catastrophic crashes.

Higher insurance thresholds deter high risk chameleon carriers from entering the market, by encouraging insurance companies do the onsite inspection and underwriting they were intended to do when it was originally set. It also creates a meaningful financial incentive for carriers to invest in safety and ensures that crash victims are fairly compensated without shifting the costs to taxpayers.
