C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc. has filed its merits brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, a pivotal litigation that will determine if freight brokers can be held liable under state laws for accidents involving federally licensed motor carriers. The company argues that federal law has governed the services of motor carriers and freight brokers for nearly a century, ensuring consistent rules nationwide. Recent court decisions allowing state law claims against brokers threaten to fragment the system, increase costs, and undermine efficient supply chains. The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on March 4, 2026, in a case that could have significant implications for the regulation and safety oversight of freight transportation across the United States.
