Bill > HR3042

This bill establishes a national motor carrier safety selection standard for entities that contract with certain motor carriers to transport goods. The key provisions are: 1. It sets a standard for covered entities (e.g., shippers, brokers, freight forwarders) to be considered reasonable and prudent in selecting a covered motor carrier if they verify that the carrier is registered, has the required minimum insurance, and is not deemed unfit to operate safely by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This standard will sunset once the Department of Transportation issues new regulations. 2. It directs the Secretary of Transportation to update existing regulations to include a process for revoking the registration of a motor carrier deemed unfit to operate safely. 3. It clarifies that the bill does not preempt or supersede any state law or regulation relating to drayage (the transport of goods over a short distance).
