Bill overview
This bill, the Motor Carrier Safety Selection Standard Act of 2024, aims to improve safety in the trucking industry by establishing a standard of care for shippers and other entities that contract with motor carriers. It requires covered entities – such as shippers, brokers, and customs brokers – to verify that the motor carriers they hire are properly registered, insured, and compliant with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) safety standards before shipping goods. The bill also directs the Secretary of Transportation to update regulations related to motor carrier safety fitness determinations and establish a public confirmation process for motor carrier compliance.
