The freight industry has been waiting six years for this — and it just cleared a major hurdle. 🚦

On Thursday, Aug. 27, the FMCSA sent its new broker transparency proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget for approval — the last step before it's published in the Federal Register and opens for public comment.

Why it matters:
📋 Existing rules (49 CFR 371.3) already require brokers to keep transaction records — but carriers almost never get to actually exercise their right to review them.
⚡ The proposal has been deemed economically "nonsignificant," which can speed up the OMB review — so this could move faster than the usual 90-day window.
🔍 The proposal would reframe transparency as a regulatory duty on brokers rather than just a right carriers have to fight for.

What this means for shippers: More transparency in the brokered freight chain means clearer accountability on rates and records. When you work with a direct expedite carrier, you skip that layer entirely — you know exactly who's moving your freight.

At Straight Shot Express, there's no guessing who's behind the wheel. Time-critical loads, direct carrier accountability, nationwide coverage.

Cargo thieves have stopped picking locks. They're picking inboxes.

Highway's Q2 2026 Freight Fraud Index shows that communication-based attacks — compromised inboxes, spoofed emails, account takeovers and impersonation calls — accounted for 50% of all classified fraud vectors in the second quarter, up from 42.7% in the first.

The scale is hard to ignore:
📧 784,201 fraudulent inbound emails blocked, up 48.5% from Q1
☎️ 109,995 fraudulent and spoofed phone calls intercepted, up 53.2% quarter over quarter
🪪 Ownership change fraud climbed to 25.6% of reported thefts

As Highway's VP of risk framed it, nearly every successful theft starts with a bad actor exploiting your trust — counting on a compromised contact method to look legitimate before your process catches the deception.

The takeaway for shippers: verify the carrier, not just the rate. Confirm contact details through a channel you already trust. And be skeptical of last-minute changes to pickup instructions or payment information — urgency is the tool fraudsters lean on hardest.

Good news for drivers, and it's overdue.

The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $61.7 million through its BUILD grant program to expand truck parking along key freight corridors nationwide:

🅿️ Kentucky — $25M for spaces at seven rest areas plus real-time parking information systems
🅿️ Mississippi — $22.1M for 54 rest area spaces and real-time information systems
🅿️ Illinois — $13.2M for 45 rest area spaces
🅿️ Wyoming — $1.4M to improve winter parking options

Why it matters beyond the headline: a DOT study found that 98% of truck drivers regularly have problems finding safe parking, and ATRI research shows drivers lose an average of 56 minutes of drive time per day because of it.

That's not just a quality-of-life issue. That's an hour of legal drive time a day disappearing from the national network — and on time-critical freight, an hour is the whole ballgame.

To every driver who has circled a full lot at 10 p.m. looking for somewhere legal to shut down: this one's for you.

It has never cost more to run a truck.

ATRI's 2026 Analysis of the Operational Costs of Trucking puts the industry average at $2.336 per mile in 2025 — a 3.4% increase and the highest per-mile cost in the report's history. Strip out fuel and costs climbed even faster, up 4.2% to $1.854 per mile.

Where the pressure came from:

🛣️ Tolls up 13.2%
🔧 Repair and maintenance up 8.6%
🛞 Tires up 6.4%, driven in part by tariffs on rubber
👤 Driver wages and benefits topped $1 per mile for the first time

And the response was predictable: carriers cut truck counts by 2.4% and left another 10% of trucks unseated — the largest reduction in freight capacity since the freight recession began in 2022.

Cost discipline is one thing. Cost of failure is another. A missed date on critical freight almost always costs more than the premium to move it right the first time.
