Many of the practices, harming small trucking businesses are not rooted in acts of Congress, but in regulatory interpretations, guidance, and enforcement practices that have expanded far beyond their original legislative intent. These regulatory applications often lack clear statutory authority, consistent standards, and meaningful oversight, leaving independent owner operators subject to shifting rules they did not negotiate and can not effectively challenge .

As a result, small trucking businesses are governed by compliance requirements and financial burdens that were never debated or enacted by Congress, raising serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and due process

Independent truck owners and small trucking businesses across the United States are facing systematic contractual abuse that threatens both small business viability and consumer protection

Across the trucking industry, independent operators report

Forced and undisclosed deductions from settlements, escrows, or compensation
Opaque claims, chargeback, and escrow practices that prevent proper reconciliation

Contractual terms that unfairly shift financial risk onto independent operators

Misclassification concerns that undermine lawful independent contractor, status 

Inadequate, federal oversight and enforcement, despite existing regulations.

End unfair forced deductions

Enforce existing federal protections

Investigate, abusive, or deceptive practices

These practices are not isolated incidents. They represent a broader failure of transparency, accountability, and enforcement that harms small businesses, distorts fair compensation, and ultimately impacts consumers through higher cost and reduce service reliability.
