The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Truck Leasing Task Force (TLTF) will hold its next meeting on Thursday, July 18, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm ET. The virtual meeting will consider the opportunity that equitable leasing agreements provide for drivers to start or expand trucking companies. In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will present its Findings of Submitted Leases for Commercial Motor Vehicles. Lastly, there will be a public comment period to allow CMV drivers and lessees to share their personal experiences with fraud or predation, and to present any supporting information they would like the TLTF to consider in its recommendations on such agreements.
