Freight 360

CH Robinson's planned $5.8B purchase of RXO kicks off this episode. We cover what consolidation really changes for brokers and shippers, and why AI keeps coming up in pricing and matching. Then we look at rising diesel costs and how internal silos at big shippers turn budget cuts into service failures. We close with a deep dive on noncompetes, non-solicits, and confidentiality clauses in freight brokerage, including real lawsuit stories and what to watch before you sign, hire, or quit.

Freight policy is moving fast, and the decisions being made now could reshape safety, fraud, and accountability across the supply chain. Fresh back from the TIA Policy Forum in Washington, D.C., we break down the Montgomery case, the Motor Carrier Safety Selection Standard Act, cargo theft legislation like CORCA, and the ongoing broker transparency fight. We also explain what these changes could mean for brokers, carriers, insurance costs, and the broader freight market.
For listeners who want to contact their members of Congress and advocate on these issues:
Motor Carrier Safety Selection Standard Act (MCSSS Act) — H.R. 7261
Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA) — H.R. 2853
Broker Modernization Act — No House bill introduced yet

One cargo claim can quickly expose the gap between having insurance and actually being covered. We sit down with Cameron from Pullsure to break down primary vs. contingent cargo insurance, high-value freight, trip policies, reefer claims, deductibles, and the documentation brokers need when something goes wrong.
If you move temperature-controlled freight, handle claims, or manage freight broker risk, this episode will help you understand where coverage can fail and how to better protect your customer and your company.
