Historical #data are key in #insurance… however they don’t always exist. Feel free to join our #Webinar about this topic and our “Day-one pricing framework” designed to tackle this problem.

The process of Vetting Motor Carriers and Freight Brokers must start with two questions “Is the entity in violation of state or federal regulations?” “ did the entityviolate state or federal law to obtain their operating authority?” If the answer is yes, to either question, the company cannot be validated should not have been issued an operating Authority and requires no further vetting. Simply don’t use the #scumbag. FreightValidate ✅ MyCarrierPortal FreightClub.us https://lnkd.in/e3bMGewz

The Carmack Amendment, the legal framework for carrier liability, was enacted in 1906 which revised the Interstate Commerce Act of 1877-- that's 147 years old. Today, freight claims are a $3B+ industry, and the logistics and e-commerce landscape highlight several challenges to Carmack's efficacy and relevancy. Valorie Steinbeck, team manager of inland marine/cargo in our Commercial Transportation Unit, is rethinking the nature of freight. Technology advancements, like real-time tracking and shipping conditions, and better routes to meet customer expectations, are two examples of how Valorie is tracking the evolution of freight. CLM Alliance (Claims and Litigation Management Alliance) published Valorie's insights in their last issue of CLM Magazine.

This just hit the table...with a thunder! The FMC has reaffirmed the ALJ's (Admin Law Judge) decision on chassis choice. Directly from the Order... "This Order addresses whether certain ocean common carrier practices that restrict motor carriers’ choice of chassis providers for port-to-port shipments (merchant haulage) violate 46 U.S.C. § 41102(c). The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ruled that Respondents’ practice of designating an exclusive chassis provider for merchant haulage and using merchant haulage volume to obtain discounted carrier haulage rates where motor carriers have no choice of chassis providers violates Section 41102(c) and ordered Respondents to cease and desist engaging in those practices. The ALJ also ruled that the Commission has authority to order ocean common carriers not to withdraw from interoperable chassis pools, but could not determine whether that relief is appropriate here until the record is further developed." I haven't fully read the decision, (it's only 73 pages 😏), but there looks to be some change upon us in LA/LB, Chicago, Memphis and Savannah.
