1506. #TFCP - The $604M Verdict: A New Era of Broker Liability?!
How does the recent C.H. Robinson lawsuit actually impact your day-to-day carrier selection policies? Bryan Nelson is back to deliver the straightforward facts on freight broker liability and negligent selection!
We break down the massive $100M+ settlement, exploring how exerting too much control over drivers can trigger vicarious liability and why relying on publicly removed FMCSA SMS safety scores won't necessarily save you in a courtroom.
Bryan lays out exactly what a reasonable carrier selection policy should look like in today's litigation-heavy freight market, equipping you with the vital, no-nonsense insights you need to manage risk, revamp your broker-carrier operations, and protect your bottom line without overstepping your bounds!
