SAFER Transport Act

This bill changes federal rules for trucking companies, freight brokers, and freight forwarders to address freight fraud and theft. Over five years it would phase out MC numbers so that USDOT numbers become the only federal ID, and it would let regulators withhold or revoke registration for certain felony convictions. It would require states to confirm that non-citizen commercial driver's license applicants are authorized to work and to file monthly license reports, and it would bar Canada- and Mexico-based carriers from hauling cargo between two U.S. points. It also creates a crime, with up to 5 years in prison, for using fraudulent certifications to transport goods or passengers, requires foreign dispatch services to register as brokers, and sets up an advisory committee and automated fraud-detection systems.
