Crack down on scammers targeting truckers by requiring disclosures from private companies, barring misleading Department of Transportation affiliation, and allowing victims to sue for damages.

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) and Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) introduced legislation that’s intended to help bring an end to scammers who take advantage of truckers... The Stop Scamming Truckers Act would: Require that any company that transmits correspondence about USDOT numbers must include a disclosure... The bill also clarifies that a company cannot: Use a name, seal, logo, insignia, or trade dress that would reasonably imply affiliation with the Department of Transportation. For enforcement, the bill creates a private right of action

Gluesenkamp Perez introduced the Stop Scamming Truckers Act, which would impose disclosure rules, ban misleading DOT-like communications, and create a private right of action for recipients of violating communications.

FMCSA announced Motus, a new online registration system with enhanced verification tools; the notice says transportation service providers can register in the system and describes identity and business verification to reduce fraudulent records.

Official rulemaking record shows a concrete federal anti-fraud registration modernization for trucking, but not the specific promised disclosures, ban on misleading DOT affiliation, or victim damages remedy.

The notice says FMCSA has seen increased fraudulent activity involving erroneous carrier information, including identity theft, account hijacking, selling carrier numbers, and fake initial registrations.

The federal action addresses fraud in motor-carrier registration records, supporting only partial delivery of a broader trucker-scam crackdown.

FMCSA said Motus went live for truck drivers, school bus operators, and motor carriers, using biometrics and data analytics to verify applicants and business legitimacy.

Agency implementation is a tangible anti-fraud step for trucking registration, but it is executive/agency action and does not document Gluesenkamp Perez action or the claim’s litigation/disclosure mechanisms.
