The FMCSA is expected to propose new regulations that could significantly impact property carriers and brokers:

Electronic Transaction Records:
Brokers will need to provide electronic transaction records within 48 hours, enhancing transparency and streamlining access to vital information.

Protection of Carrier Rights:
Brokers will be prohibited from coercing carriers to waive their rights to access transaction records, ensuring fair practices and protecting carrier rights.

Why This Matters to You:

🔍 Enhanced Transparency:
Timely access to electronic records will improve your ability to monitor and verify transactions, ensuring accuracy and transparency in your operations.

🛡️ Protection of Rights:
These regulations will safeguard carriers' rights, fostering a fairer and more trustworthy environment in broker interactions.

⚙️ Operational Efficiency:
Quicker access to records will reduce administrative burdens, allowing you to focus on strategic tasks that drive efficiency and productivity.

Have you considered buying or selling a transportation business?

In this episode, Justin Bailie, Co-founder of Rose Rocket, sits down with Meghan Meurer, Chief Commercial Officer at Tenney Group, to discuss mergers and acquisitions for transportation businesses. Here are three key takeaways for anyone considering M&A in the transportation industry:

1️⃣ Understanding the M&A Market: Meghan highlights the recent trends in the M&A market, emphasizing the importance of scalability and profitability for asset light operations. With an uptick in activity, it's crucial for companies to be aware of buyer profiles and market dynamics to make informed decisions.

2️⃣ Deal Structure Matters: The value of a business isn't solely determined by revenue or EBITDA multiples. The structure of the deal, including contingent considerations and risk-sharing mechanisms, plays a significant role in maximizing the value of a transaction. Buyers and sellers need to focus on de-risking the deal to ensure a smoother and more profitable outcome.

3️⃣ Educate Yourself: Succession planning and preparing for a potential sale require education and strategic planning. Meghan stressed the importance of starting the educational process early, engaging with advisory groups, and considering creative ways to transfer ownership or equity within the business.

If you're interested in learning more about M&A in the transportation industry and gaining insights from a seasoned professional like Meghan, be sure to listen to the full episode of Freight Famous.
