Will the Montgomery ruling push small brokers out?

On The Freight Break, Matthew Leffler shared concerns that smaller brokerages and agents could be hit hardest as insurance costs start climbing after the Montgomery decision. He also pointed out that shifting liability onto brokers doesn’t automatically solve the bigger safety issues in trucking.

If you’re a broker trying to figure out what this decision means for your business, now’s the time to surround yourself with the right carriers and partners. Join us in Dallas from October 27-28, 2026: https://bit.ly/BCS-Dallas-2026

Finding good freight is one thing. Finding the right people to build long-term business with is another.

At the Broker-Carrier Summit, Jason Douglass of PCS Software talked about why BCS delivers so much value for carriers. The brokers, carriers, and shippers in the room are there to build real partnerships, talk through opportunities, and make connections that continue long after the event ends.

A lot of freight relationships used to start and end with a rate confirmation.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport is a reminder that who you work with matters now more than ever. Brokers and carriers are going to need stronger relationships, better communication, and people they can trust when things go sideways.

That’s why getting in the same room matters. The conversations you have at events like the BCS can turn into the kind of relationships that help you protect and grow your business later.

Starting a small trucking company sounds great until you realize how much there is to figure out and how few people are willing to help.

At the Broker-Carrier Summit, Pamela Polyak of Polyak Trucking, Logistics, & Consulting talked about why she spends so much time helping smaller carriers figure out where to start, who to talk to, and what tools they really need.

That’s what BCS is all about. Real conversations, real advice, and real connections with people who genuinely want to help each other succeed.

Shippers, we brought the brokers and carriers to the table. Now it’s YOUR turn. 🫵

If you’ve been frustrated with providers, communication gaps, or feeling like nobody fully understands what your freight needs, come see just how complex this industry really is before, during, and after a shipment moves.

Most shippers work with brokers or carriers. Very few get to sit in the room with both at the same time and hear the real challenges each side is dealing with every day.
