FreightCasts Supreme Court Shake-Up + CDL Controversy: Is Trucking Ready for What’s Next? | Brake Check
Is trucking entering a new era?
In this episode of Brake Check on FreightWaves, we examine two forces shaping the future of freight workforce development and legal accountability.
First, Lindsey Trent of the Next Generation in Trucking Association joins us to discuss the mission of the next generation in trucking. Are we finally fixing the pipeline? What are we getting right and where are we still missing the mark?
Then we turn to the Supreme Court ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC with Shannon Everett of American Truckers United.
We break down:• What the ruling actually means • Whether broker immunity is narrowing • Insurance and liability ripple effects • The impact on small carriers • Non-domiciled CDL concerns • Whether this strengthens accountability or destabilizes freight
This episode connects the next generation entering trucking with the legal framework they’re stepping into.
Because when liability shifts, capital shifts.
When capital shifts, freight shifts.
