Freight broker RXO is seeing better-than-expected spot market trends in the second quarter.
Banks learned years ago that fraud prevention requires more than instinct or technology alone. They built compliance roles, documented procedures, and repeatable verification processes designed to reduce risk and stand up in court.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that state negligent-hiring claims against freight brokers are not preempted by the FAAAA. Twenty-eight thousand brokers just woke up in a different legal universe.
