The shipment totaled about 54,000 phones with a value of approximately $11.5 million. They were to move from Texas...

C.H. Robinson – and 3PL industry – win another broker liability case in 7th Circuit

The 3PL industry’s latest win in the legal battle over broker liability comes in a federal appellate court where a pro-broker precedent already exists.

Meanwhile, the latest attempt to have the U.S. Supreme Court rule on the issue may have been taken up by the court in a conference held Friday.

In the most recent case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, in a decision handed down Jan. 3, held that C.H. Robinson (NASDAQ: CHRW) did not have an “agency” relationship with carrier Caribe...

Despite win on appeal, TQL wants Supreme Court to review broker liability issue

In an unusual twist, giant brokerage TQL is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review its lower court victories on the question of broker liability.

In a brief filed with the Supreme Court last week, TQL sided with its adversary Katia Gauthier in seeking review of the lower court cases. Her husband, Peter, was killed in May 2020 in a collision with a truck hired by TQL.

Gauthier’s subsequent lawsuit against the carrier and TQL resulted in a pair of decisions – in the U.S. District Court for the...

Victory for a 3PL again–TQL–in case involving broker liability 

Another brokerage company has won a court battle holding that a 3PL is not liable for an accident that involved a carrier the company hired to move freight.

TQL, the logistics company in the case, was heard by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel unanimously held last week that TQL could not be held liable for a fatal accident on a Georgia road in 2020.

Katia Gauthier, the widow of Peter Gauthier who was killed in the accident, originally filed suit against the carrier, Hard to...
