Trucking brokers can no longer hide fees from drivers

The US Transportation Department wants to make it harder for freight brokers to hide transaction details from truckers. This means truck drivers will have a clearer picture of how much brokers are charging to move their loads.

Freight brokers often hide the actual rates they charge for moving goods. They do this by making truckers sign contracts that waive their right to see transaction records. This proposed rule makes it harder for brokers to hide those numbers, giving truckers more power to negotiate fair rates.
