🚨 Section 1: The Five Points of Freedom (“The Great Freedom Framework”)
1. $5/mile Minimum Freight Rate
A hard floor on linehaul rates to protect carriers from predatory underbidding and exploitation.
2. $1/mile Minimum Pay for Company Drivers
Guarantees fair and livable wages for every mile driven — no exceptions.
3. 3% Brokerage Cap (Flat Commission)
Brokers may take no more than 3% of the gross freight bill. No markups. No hidden cuts. No theft.
4. Broker Transparency – Full Manifest Disclosure
Shippers’ rate confirmations, invoice totals, and all billing details must be provided upfront with every transaction — not “upon request.”
All brokers must remove any contractual language waiving the carrier’s right to know original rates.

Introduces a fixed premium schedule to stop abusive insurance rate hikes and keep small carriers in business.
