One of the biggest broker verdicts in trucking history landed last Thursday. A Dallas jury hit C.H. Robinson for $604 million in a negligent hiring case, arguing the broker should have vetted the carrier more carefully before assigning the load.

That verdict is going to change every broker’s carrier onboarding process, because now the paperwork you thought was annoying just became the broker’s legal shield. Expect more requests for CSA breakdowns, more insurance verifications, more callbacks on inspection history.

For owner operators with a clean record, this is not bad news. Your safety score just became worth more at the negotiating table. For new authorities or carriers with hot violations, the wall got taller.

Two things to do this week. One, pull your own CSA scores at ai.fmcsa.dot.gov and see what a broker sees. Two, if a violation on your record is wrong, file the DataQs challenge. It is free and most carriers never bother.

The EIA published the weekly diesel number on Tuesday. National average jumped 17.9 cents in one week to $5.313 a gallon. Third straight weekly increase, up 73.5 cents over three weeks.

If you signed a rate a week ago your fuel cost is already higher than the surcharge on your rate con. Every mile you run this week is at a lower net than the load said it would be.

Two things to do today. One, check your FSC index against the current number. Two, if a broker offers you a lane and quotes the old FSC, push back before you accept.

Cargo theft hit $725 million in the US last year, up 60% from $455M the year before. Roughly a third of it is strategic theft, meaning freight handed off legitimately to somebody pretending to be a carrier. Not cut locks. Paperwork. The defence is verification before the load moves — SAFER lookup, insurance called direct, and the phone number from the broker’s website rather than the rate confirmation. Send this to any operator still verifying loads by reading the emailed COI.

On July 9 FMCSA pulled another 10 ELDs from the registered list. Carriers running any of them have 60 days to replace it or the device counts as no ELD at all, which is out of service at the scale house, not a fine. The full revoked list is at eld.fmcsa.dot.gov under Registered ELDs, Revoked Devices. Two minutes to check, cheaper than a day parked. Send this to the driver still running a $200 ELD off a marketplace.

Broker quick pay at 3% to skip a 28 day wait works out to about 39% annualised. On $12,000 a month that is roughly $4,300 a year. Sometimes taking it is the right call when you need fuel money. Just know the rate you are paying for it.

FMCSA has revoked 67 ELDs since January 2025. If your device is on the list you are legally running with no ELD, which is an out of service order, not a fine. Nobody calls you when it happens. Two minutes at eld.fmcsa.dot.gov under Revoked Devices is cheaper than a day parked. Send this to anyone still running a cheap ELD off a marketplace.

One in three trucks inspected during Roadcheck this year was placed out of service. 32.8% is nearly double last year, and cargo securement was one of the two focus areas, which is why flatbed and step deck took the worst of it. The blitz is over but the standard is not. Your aggregate working load limit still has to total half the cargo weight, today and every day.

07/24/2026

FMCSA has revoked 67 ELDs since January 2025 and the latest deadline is August 23. If your device is on the revoked list you are legally operating without an ELD, which is an out of service order at the scale house, not a fine. TRUCKSTAFF ELD was pulled on June 23. Checking takes two minutes at eld.fmcsa.dot.gov under Revoked Devices. Send this to anyone still running a cheap ELD they bought off a marketplace.

TONU is the accessorial most owner operators never invoice. Truck Ordered Not Used is what you bill when a broker cancels a load after you have already rolled, and it is standard on most broker contracts at $150 to $250. You do not get it automatically. It has to be agreed before you turn around, and then it has to appear on the invoice. Send this to the driver who ate a dead day last month.
