New Senate bill targets 'chameleon carriers' that reopen to escape penalties
U.S. Sens. Todd Young and Andy Kim introduced the Safety and Accountability in Freight Enforcement Act targeting 'chameleon carriers' that reopen under new identities to evade safety penalties. The bill requires FMCSA to develop an automated screening tool to identify links between new applicants and previously closed carriers. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and major trucking groups support the legislation.
