Did You Know that BOC-3 updates need to be filed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)? TIA has heard from a few Members of TIA of their authority being shutdown for an authority issue with a paperwork mistake or BOC-3 issue. Obviously having your authority shutdown can be detrimental to your business operations and bottom line. If you receive a notification from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) please take immediate action. If you need assistance with the FMCSA, please don’t hesitate to reach out to TIA at advocacy@tianet.org.

TIA Call to Action: TIA Members, as you know over the last year and a half we have been working diligently on your behalf to include DOT licensed property brokers in the C-TPAT program, a public/private partnership focused on hardening the supply chain. Department of Homeland Security’s decision more than 10 years ago to exclude you from C-TPAT has cost you all countless business opportunities.

We have legislation to start to fix this. S.2322 in the Senate and H.R. 6826 in the House of Representatives will allow 10 TIA members to be included in this program through a pilot program. This starts the process of opening up C-TPAT to any 3PL who would like to join.

Use this link, with a pre-written note, to call on your elected leaders to co-sponsor and support S.2322 and H.R 6826.

Write to your elected leaders today!

Employee onboarding can be challenging, costly, and time-consuming, but the New Employee Orientation Course from Transportation Intermediaries Association eases the burden providing an overview of rules/regulations, business ethics, how to sell, and more!

The most recent 3PL Market Report reflects that we are now in the second consecutive quarter of slow growth in freight.

The report shows that for Q122, total revenue and invoice amount per shipment improved by 3.2% and 3.7% respectively; however, total shipments declined .5% compared to Q421.

"The first quarter reveals that freight volumes are not achieving the dizzying heights of the last two years. However, it’s important to note that volumes remain elevated, and the marketplace continues to be strong, said TIA President & CEO Anne Reinke. “TIA members continue to be well-positioned to handle the freight and help to unwind the persistent clogs in the supply chain.”
