Evolution of Reasonable Care - Episode 2: What brokers must know about "reasonable care" Episode 2 of The Evolution of Reasonable Care examines one of the most significant legal developments affecting the freight brokerage industry in decades. Following the recent $604 million Dallas County advisory verdict involving C.H. Robinson, Darren Brewer explores how three landmark legal developments have shaped the ongoing debate surrounding freight broker liability and reasonable care in carrier selection. This episode analyzes: • Schramm v. Foster (2004) • Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II (2026) • The Dallas County C.H. Robinson verdict • Negligent carrier selection • Federal preemption under the FAAAA • FMCSA carrier safety ratings • CSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) • BASIC categories and percentile scores • Carrier vetting and due diligence • Carrier monitoring and re-evaluation • Fraud indicators and identity verification • Documentation and litigation risk • Shipper exposure and evolving legal standards One of the central questions remains unanswered: What does “reasonable care” actually require when selecting a motor carrier? As courts continue defining the legal responsibilities of freight brokers and shippers, this episode examines the practical, operational, and legal implications that could influence transportation litigation for years to come. Whether you’re a freight broker, trucking company, shipper, logistics executive, transportation attorney, insurance professional, compliance officer, risk manager, or supply chain leader, this episode provides an in-depth discussion of one of the industry’s most consequential legal issues.

What happens when $20,000–$50,000 drones start targeting the ships, ports, and chokepoints that move 90% of the world’s goods?
