TCE provides DOT (FMCSA) and fleet-related subject matter expert guidance to industry clients and legal counsel regarding the proper application of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act, including state-level application and exemptions that may apply based upon the needs of a specific shipment. As former industry regulators, our expert witnesses have been trained regarding the enforcement of industry regulations and standards of care, in a manner consistent with trucking industry protocols (including those developed by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, or CVSA that are used by FMCSA and its industry partners). Industry partners commonly include DOT and non-DOT regulated fleets, motor carriers, shippers, freight brokers, and vehicle manufacturing or repair facilities.

The experts provide deposition and trial testimony on a broad array of issues related to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act and state-level industry standards regarding both interstate and intrastate shipments. They provide guidance on the interpretation and application of DOT regulatory requirements as well as industry standards of care regarding transportation industry partners, including to whom those standards apply as non-delegable duties within the industry.
