Are broker transparency rules the solution to today’s freight challenges, or should we be focusing more on enforcement and safety? We’re excited to bring The Armchair Attorney back to the show, Matt Leffler, to break down the FMCSA’s latest delay on broker transparency updates, why the current 371.3 requirements remain unchanged, and what this means for brokers, carriers, and shippers!

We delve into how market dynamics, tighter margins, and reduced consumer spending are shaping rates, and why stricter enforcement of maintenance and safety regulations could have a greater impact on the industry than transparency alone. Hear another straightforward take on what’s really driving the transportation market!
