The Supreme Court's unanimous decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II reordered the competitive stakes for every carrier in America. Brokers can be sued under state law for negligently hiring unsafe motor carriers, which means your safety record, your data, and your documented safety culture are no longer internal concerns. They're the criteria brokers, shippers, and insurers will use to decide who gets the freight.

This session brings legal, safety, and technology perspectives together to equip senior executives with what they need to lead in the post-Montgomery landscape: what the ruling means for carrier vetting and insurance exposure, how safety programs must evolve to create a defensible record, and how video safety technology gives fleets the documented proof of performance the market now demands.

Key takeaways:

  • What Montgomery v. Caribe means for your carrier relationships, insurance costs, and competitive position
  • How broker vetting practices are shifting — and what carriers must document to stay in the load pool
  • How a proactive safety program, grounded in data and video evidence, becomes a strategic business asset
  • Leadership actions to take now to reduce liability exposure before your next contract renewal or audit
