Fighting for Change: Inside the TIA Policy Forum | Episode 313

The trucking industry faces a major safety crisis—1 in 5 trucks shouldn’t be on the road, 97% of carriers lack safety ratings, and nearly a quarter of drivers stopped during inspections don’t even have a CDL. At the TIA Policy Forum in D.C., industry leaders pushed for long-delayed safety standards and legislation like the Household Goods Shipping Consumer Protection Act. With freight volumes at historic lows, brokers need layered protection—education, procedures, and technology—to guard against fraud and theft. This isn’t just about business; it’s about public safety and accountability, and real change will only happen if people demand it from Congress.
