Sen Ted Cruz Presses Experts on Autonomous Trucks and Freight Fraud

Published | Video Starts at 04:47

I want to thank Senator Young for his leadership on the Safer Transport act, which is going to help stop freight fraud if enacted. Chameleon characters, meaning carriers with poor safety records that go out of business and then reincarnate as new carriers with clean records are particularly problematic for fraudulent activities and poor safety records. Mr. Spear and Mr. Scandalia, can you elaborate on the chameleon carrier problem and what Congress should do to address it? Mr. Spear? (04:47–05:03)

CLAIM
