Lytx hosting fireside chat on freight broker safety liability

How to adapt to the Supreme Court’s broker negligent carrier selection ruling

AI-powered fleet management provider Lytx Inc. will host a live webinar, “Is Your Safety Record Broker Ready?” Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

The fireside chat will examine how broker-carrier relationships may change following the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, which opened the door for brokers to face state-law claims for negligent carrier selection.

Guidance for carriers in any stage of response

As brokers reassess carrier approval and retention practices, fleets may face increased scrutiny of their safety records, public data, inspection histories, and documentation. The webinar will bring together legal, insurance, and fleet safety perspectives to help carriers understand what may be expected and how they can prepare.

“In today’s freight environment, a strong safety record is more than proof of compliance, it is a competitive advantage,” said Shelley Bennett, Senior Vice President & General Counsel at Lytx. “As broker expectations evolve, carriers that can clearly demonstrate their commitment to safety will be better positioned to reduce risk, build trust, and protect their access to freight.”

The session will be moderated by Bennett and feature:

  • Shaun Carr, Senior Vice President of Transportation & Logistics at Marsh
  • Dylan West, Safety Compliance and Training Manager at Keystops LLC
  • Ida Sassani, Shareholder at Baker Donelson
  • Meredith Priestley, Chief Legal Officer at Cargo Transporters

Whether you are just getting up to speed on what the ruling means, or you are already evaluating how to strengthen your safety program, this session will meet you where you are.

You will hear what brokers are looking for, what a defensible safety record looks like in practice, and what the fleets staying ahead of this change are doing differently.
