Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act of 2026

This bill would require trucking companies, subcontractors, and owner-operators hauling Department of Defense freight to certify that they are not owned or controlled by, and do not have significant business relationships with, companies on the Defense Department's list of Chinese military companies. Carriers that knowingly give a false certification could be suspended or barred from defense contracting and face civil penalties, and carriers must keep certification records for at least 5 years. The bill would also have the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, working with the Defense Department, create a Secure Defense Freight Carrier Registry within one year. Carriers would need to pass national security vetting, including driver security checks, and be re-vetted at least every 2 years to be listed. Starting one year after enactment, only listed carriers could bid on or perform Defense Department freight contracts, unless the Secretary of Defense grants a waiver for exigent circumstances.
