Meetings
If you can only attend one meeting this fall, don’t miss out on the only technology-focused meeting exclusively designed for 3PLs - 3PL Technovations. An amazing lineup of thought leaders await you in Tucson to share how technology is affecting the 3PL industry. The first day includes three showcases with micro “TED Talk” presentations from the companies who are working on the latest developments that will impact the 3PL community. For more information and to register, visit the 3PL Technovations site.
Industry News and AdvocacyTIA has released an updated version of its model Broker-Carrier Contract to address the recent changing landscape of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations on 3PLs and brokers. In addition to the model contract, the TIA Contracts Committee has put together a sample certification addendum to have your motor carriers sign. This is an important step to take when arranging transportation in California and one that CARB specifically recommends. Please take a few minutes to review the list of TIA Member Candidates for the month of October. If you have any information on why a Candidate should not be accepted into membership, please contact TIA immediately. Opposition or inquiries must be submitted in writing. A copy of the inquiry will be sent to the Candidate.

On Sept. 27, 2018, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published in the Federal Register an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on several aspects of the broker and freight forwarder financial responsibility. FMCSA announced that it is initiating a rulemaking pertaining to the implementation of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). MAP-21 raised the financial security amount for brokers to $75,000 and, for the first time, established financial security requirements for freight forwarders. On Sept. 28, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published in the Federal Register a final rule that allows, but does not require, State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) to waive requirements for the commercial learner's permit (CLP) knowledge test for certain individuals who are, or were, regularly employed within the last year in a military position that requires, or required, the operation of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). This rule includes the option for an SDLA to waive the tests required for a passenger carrier (P) endorsement, tank vehicle (N) endorsement, or hazardous material (H) endorsement, with proof of training and experience. The final rule takes effect on Nov. 27, 2018.
