Did You Know that there will be a legal panel at TIA's 3PLXTEND Hybrid Xperience? Join us for  Playing Catch-Up: The Intersection of Technology and Law on October 21. Mark Twain once quipped that a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting its boots on. In a similar vein, technology has driven changes in transportation and logistics at such a rapid pace that the law is often belatedly adapting.  This panel will address and offer practical solutions to a range of such issues, including proper treatment of touchless deliveries, electronic bills of lading, “app” liability, implications of track and trace, contracts with extensive technology components, “big data” impacts on casualty litigation, data privacy dilemmas, and more. Register now!

TIA is seeking to better understand the financial impacts of double-brokering on the 3PL industry and specifically, TIA Members.

TIA uses the term “double brokering” in the sense of illegal brokerage activities. For example, a TIA Member hires a motor carrier to haul their customers’ freight; unbeknownst to the TIA Member, the load is then re-brokered or “double brokered” to another carrier. The carrier could have brokerage authority or not, but the contract clearly stated that the relationship was that of a broker and a carrier.

 Any information you provide will directly contribute to the advocacy efforts of the TIA Government Affairs Team as we work toward ending this unlawful brokerage activity within the industry. All responses are anonymous and confidential. If double-brokering is an issue affecting your business, please take this brief survey.

Thank you for your time and support!

A broker’s Introduction to Intermodal Transportation was jointly developed by several of TIA’s railroad associate members and provides a general overview of the intermodal mode. This course is perfect for transportation and freight brokerage professionals looking to expand into intermodal services.

We have just updated the Member Resource Library, with a new section devoted exclusively to whitepapers TIA has produced over the years. These resources are designed to help our members gain a better understanding of issues, trends, and developments in the industry as they navigate an increasingly crowded 3PL marketplace. The Member Resource Library also includes a collection of guidelines and frameworks, contracts, legal cases, and other resources to provide TIA Members with a knowledge bank for 3PL success.

You must be logged into the TIA website to access this library. Contact a member of TIA staff at
