Robinson Is Removing Carriers Based on Safety Scores. A Supreme Court Decision Two Weeks Ago May Explain Why.

Robinson is removing carriers from its Navisphere system based on safety scores. A notice labeled Changes to carrier eligibility informs carriers that their account becomes non-certified until BASIC scores improve. Loads in transit will deliver and be paid, but new bookings are blocked immediately. Analysts note the timing follows a May 14 Supreme Court ruling that could affect how brokers price risk, though Robinson has not publicly linked the move to the decision. Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC was decided unanimously; the Court held that state-law negligent hiring claims against freight brokers are not preempted by the FAAAA.
