When was the last time you looked at your safety record the way a broker would?

In May, the Supreme Court ruled that freight brokers are not automatically shielded from negligent-hiring claims when they are accused of hiring an unsafe carrier. Brokers may now have to defend who they put on a load, and they are already asking FMCSA for a federal selection standard and a public list flagging high-risk carriers.

For carriers, that means your safety scores, inspection history, and documentation are no longer just an audit concern. They are becoming part of how brokers decide who gets freight.

In this free webinar, we’ll cover:

• What the ruling changed and what it means for carriers, not just brokers
• How brokers are responding, including the push for a public high-risk carrier list
• Why more than 90% of carriers have no formal safety rating, and why that matters more now
• What a broker sees when they look up your company
• Practical steps to build a record you can explain and defend

The brokers you rely on are changing how they choose carriers. Make sure you know what they’re looking for.
