SCOTUS killed the broker defense; is truck leasing next?
The SCOTUS decision stripped brokers of the federal preemption defense used for years to escape negligent carrier selection claims.

Their legal shield was different and the Supreme Court published the map to it. The post SCOTUS killed the broker defense; is truck leasing next? appeared first on FreightWaves.
