SCOTUS Montgomery v. Caribe isn’t “brokers are liable for everything.” It’s a shift from “you can’t sue me” to “show me your process.” Carrier selection now has to be defensible → more vetting + documentation, less WhatsApp-by-screenshot, and the sloppy/shady actors (brokers + carriers) get squeezed.

ICYMI: What’s next after Montgomery? Likely a boost to the bigger 3PLs The impact from the SCOTUS case widening the liability of brokerages is likely to hit smaller firms first, maybe benefitting larger players. vist.ly/54app

Just five days after the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, the pivotal case is already understood by Samsara (NYSE: IOT) as a significant tailwind for the fleet telematics and safety technology giant. In an interview with FreightWaves, Samsara’s VP of Product Arpan Podduturi described the May 14 decision as ushering in “the start of a new chapter for the freight brokerage industry.” vist.ly/54pb4

The so-called safety exception of the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (F4A) includes the freight brokerage industry in its umbrella, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday in the closely-watched case of Montgomery vs. Caribe Transport II. The decision of the court was unanimous. Its immediate impact is that the Supreme Court decision clears up conflicting circuit court cases about whether a 3PL can be sued in state court for damages resulting from a crash involving a carrier the broker hired. With this decision, the circuit conflicts are essentially settled and the question has been answered: yes, they can. vist.ly/547fm

"If you're a small motor carrier who get most of your work from freight brokers just understand that it may not be that way for very long." Matthew Leffler explains why today's SCOTUS ruling in the Montgomery vs. Caribe Transport II case will create BIG changes for small carriers.

This is for the drivers in the @wethefopt teams meeting today on autonomous trucks... The SBTC tuned in to your teams meeting at the request of a third party for a few minutes. SBTC offers the following information... We have filed two comments on the Aurora Autonomous Exemption Application on the docket. One as SBTC and the other as James Lamb personally. regulations.gov/comment/FMCSA-… regulations.gov/comment/FMCSA-… In addition, SBTC's attorney Laurence Socci has lodged a complaint with FMCSA General Counsel Mary Pettit over the apparent lack of authenticity of the Aurora comment period. It appears this was a farce and that there has already been an unlawful predetermination on the exemption application as a result of an October 2025 lawsuit settlement agreement, which coincided with the temporary waiver. x.com/i/status/20573… If true, this would violate the Administrative Procedure Act. We have made them aware that we find this suspicious and that are watching the outcome. JAMES LAMB, SBTC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR x.com/i/status/20590…

Beware of those that preach Unity & involvement yet do not practice what they preach. When you see them saying "together we are stronger" but then exclude & work to exclude others. That's how you know their true intentions are bs 💯 trucking 🚚 around in our industry @TheSBTC @TruckersuniteNW @TNOOA22

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah...

Epic Fury Fallen... Pray for them.

@atutruckers @JustinDohrn There's a major $300m lawsuit about to be unsealed. If that doesn't motivate the states, nothing will.

Very odd that we are now 8 months into the great illegal alien CDL awakening. Yet Indiana and Oklahoma are still the only states cooperating with ICE to get these illegal truck drivers out of commercial motor vehicles.

As we travel the highways of this great nation today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. Have a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸🚛 #MemorialDay #RememberAndHonor #TruckingCommunity #ThankYou #TruckerNation
