FAAAA Preemption and What SCOTUS’ Upcoming Decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC Could Mean for Shippers and Brokers in the Transportation Industry

MRC attorney Dennis Whelan was featured on a USLaw-sponsored podcast focused on the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (FAAAA) of 1994 (the “F4A”). In the episode, Dennis discusses with the hosts the origins of the FAAAA, its evolution and its impact on the transportation industry, including distinctions between interstate vs. intrastate transportation and the federal preemption doctrine. Dennis also discusses recent developments in F4A litigation, most notably, the case of Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, which is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court’s decision in Montgomery will have an enormous impact on the viability of future state law claims against freight brokers and shippers.
