My comment on this is,>>>> OOIDA while you are seeking something from congress tell them to take what is now contained in Federal Regulations and put the same language into Federal Statute , which will be law instead of Regulations designed by a federal agency with no sanctions for non-compliance , which in essence forces an individual to sue in court to get the information. Put some teeth in it.

Brokers association lashes out after OOIDA’s push for more transparency May 18, 2020 \| In response to the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association’s push for more transparency with brokers, the Transportation Intermediaries Association is warning its members of an increase in inquiries to review information. In a letter obtained by Freight Broker Live, TIA is telling its members how to respond to inquiries from owner-operators and small carriers regarding CFR 371.3. That regulation states brokers must keep records of transactions with motor carriers. One subsection of that regulation gives each party to the transaction, including the carriers, the right to review the record. This provision allows truckers to see exactly what their cut is of the full rate that the shipper paid the broker. TIA is telling its members to “be very courteous to the carriers” when explaining their policies. However, the association is instructing members to essentially threaten inquiring carriers with fewer loads. “Please have your sales and other representatives be very courteous to the carriers, take time to explain that if they do this, that you will be unable to load them with any shipper freight requiring confidentiality, and that represents ‘X’ percent of your available loads,” the letter states.
