The Transportation Intermediaries Association's August-filed petition is well-known for its request to FMCSA to essentially throw out the transparency reg in place since the early 1980s, and in other forms earlier than that. What's been discussed far less, however, is the second part of the broker group TIA's petition, that having to do with independent dispatchers.  TIA asks the agency to provide formal guidance officially limiting dispatchers to working with just a single carrier and, in cases where they work with multiple carriers, require a broker authority and bond.  For today's edition of Overdrive Radio, hear the voice one such independent dispatch service, the one-woman shop of Brittany Hamstreet's Brittany Dispatch business, headquartered in California, likewise the Brittany Dispatch customer owner-operator Brian Bent, who weighs in on just what it would mean to his business if additional regulatory requirements eventuated in Hamstreet no longer being available to negotiate loads, collaborate on scheduling and more with his business. Also, viewpoint from two larger businesses that bring technology to bear in efforts to provide value-added services to their independent owner-operator and small carrier clients -- Justin Taylor with Merge Transit and Guillermo Garcia of SmartHop.
