Unrated and Exposed: Motor Carrier Risk After the Montgomery Ruling
August 11 | 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT

The rules just changed for freight brokers and motor carriers.
The Supreme Court's unanimous ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II removed the federal shield that freight brokers relied on to avoid liability for negligent motor carrier selection. Brokers must now document and defend every carrier they select, and carriers who can't prove their safety record risk getting passed over for freight, regardless of rating.
On August 11, 2026, join industry experts John Diana, Steve Wilhelms, Brian Hammer, and Greg Lawton for a candid conversation on what brokers are evaluating post-ruling, what documentation holds up under scrutiny, and what motor carriers can do now to strengthen their safety profile before a broker asks.
You'll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of what changed legally and operationally after Montgomery
- The specific safety data and documentation that freight brokers are now screening for
- A practical framework for building, improving, and proving a safety record
- Insight into where legal standards, FMCSA regulations, and insurance requirements are headed
