The law changed. Your paperwork didn't.
On May 14, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II that negligent carrier-selection lawsuits against brokers are not preempted by federal law. The shield brokers relied on for years is gone.
Transportation law firms across the industry are telling brokers the same thing: reasonable care is becoming a documentation standard. If you can't prove what you checked before tendering a load, a plaintiff's attorney will argue you checked nothing.
BrokerShield turns that advice into an automatic habit: every carrier, every load, checked and archived — without adding a single step to your day.
What a plaintiff's attorney asks for in discovery
- ? Your written carrier-selection policy
- ? Evidence you checked authority & insurance before tender
- ? Evidence you reviewed safety data at the time of booking
- ? Proof your process is applied consistently, load after load
BrokerShield answers all four — automatically.

Frequently asked questions
In May 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that state-law negligent-selection claims against freight brokers are not preempted by federal law (FAAAA). In practical terms: if a carrier you booked causes an accident, plaintiffs can now sue your brokerage in state court for negligent carrier selection. Industry law firms are advising brokers to document a consistent carrier-vetting process for every load.
Yes — and that's the point. Anyone can look up a carrier today, but nobody can prove what the data said months ago when the load was booked. BrokerShield checks the carrier at booking time, saves a timestamped PDF dossier of exactly what was verified, and archives it. When a claim arrives 18 months later, you have contemporaneous evidence of reasonable care — not a memory.
Operating authority status, safety rating, insurance on file, crash and inspection history, CSA-related indicators available from public sources, and out-of-service status — captured at a specific date and time, rendered as a court-ready PDF, and archived for at least 7 years.
No — and be skeptical of anyone who promises that. BrokerShield gives you a consistent, documented vetting process and the evidence trail attorneys advise brokers to keep. It is software, not legal advice; consult your attorney for your specific compliance obligations.
