The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) criticized the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) recent Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for lacking measures to address freight fraud, which they claim costs the U.S. supply chain over $1 billion annually. While the proposed regulations aim to enhance broker transparency and improve record-keeping, TIA argues these outdated rules do not address significant threats to supply chain safety. TIA’s President, Chris Burroughs, emphasized the need for stronger enforcement of existing regulations and highlighted the introduction of new legislation aimed at combating fraud in the transportation industry.
