The legal shield is officially gone. ❌
​The Supreme Court ruled that freight brokers can be held liable for carrier accidents under state laws. This means working with cut-rate brokers who skip proper vetting just became a massive financial liability for your business.

The 72-Hour Countdown: DOT Week 2026 ⚖️🚛
Starting tomorrow, May 12, the CVSA begins its International Roadcheck. For the next three days, expect increased inspections and a tightening spot market.
The 2026 Hit List:
Cargo Securement: A massive focus on tie-downs, dunnage, and load positioning.
ELD Integrity: Inspectors are looking for tampering, falsified logs, and unassigned driving time.
The Impact: Expect delays at weigh stations and reduced capacity as some carriers choose to park until Friday.
At Ford Freight, we’re all about proactive compliance. Our lanes are covered, and our drivers are ready.
