The trucking industry is bracing for a significant shift in enforcement. On June 25, 2025, a new enforcement directive will take effect, placing drivers out-of-service if they fail to meet English language proficiency (ELP) standards under FMCSA regulation 391.11(b)(2). This change, prompted by a presidential executive order, has sparked intense discussion across the industry – and for good reason.

In this episode of the TTT podcast, industry experts Adrienne Gildea (CVSA), Chris Eckhart (Scopelitis Law Firm), Bert Mayo (TrueNorth), and hosts Sean Garney and Steve Keppler unpack the details and implications of this directive.

Episode 29: Lawsuit Abuse and Nuclear Verdicts in Trucking - Past, present and future

Season 1 · Episode 29

Thursday, April 10, 2025 • Duration 44:27

Send us Fan Mail

About the Podcast:

Lawsuit abuse and the rise of nuclear verdicts are a crisis in the trucking industry driving up costs, shutting down businesses and hamstringing the industry. We've seen jury awards and settlements in hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars, often far exceeding the actual damages. These outsized verdicts are driving skyrocketing insurance premiums, forcing small and mid-sized carriers out of business, and creating an environment where frivolous lawsuits are a constant threat. However, the industry is going on the offensive.

Joined by Pamela Bracher and Peter Berg, we discuss nuclear verdicts, lawsuit abuse, what’s being done to deal with these topics and how the industry can help.

Disclaimer – nine minutes into the episode, Peter experienced technical difficulties and was not recorded by the podcast. The flow of the conversation might be a little different, but we did our best to still provide entertaining and informative conversation. Please forgive us and enjoy!

Topics Covered:
• The history of nuclear verdicts
• The reptile theory and the psychology behind it
• What are some common situations that can lead to these types of cases
• The media’s role in the trucking industry
• The public’s perception of lawsuits on fleets

Featured Industry Specialists:
• Host: P. Sean Garney, co-director at Scopelitis Transportation Consulting
• Co-Host: Steve Keppler, co-director at Scopelitis Transportation Consulting
