Please text us at 559-701-8000The Supreme Court just reshaped freight in two major ways — and the market is already reacting. One week after the unanimous Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II ruling, truckload spot rates have hit all-time highs, surpassing even COVID-era records.

We break down the ruling, the Harjinder Singh case, and what Florida, California, and Washington failed to do when vetting applicants.Plus, Indiana flagged 283 undocumented CDL holders at weigh stations in just 90 days.
