ICC Needs To Eliminate

Improper Leasing Practices

By Certificated Motor Carriers


Independent truckers (owner-operators) often
lease their trucks and services to Interstate
Commerce Commission-certificated carriers in
return for a percentage of the shipment's reve-
nue. They may also contract for shipments
through truck brokers, who act as middlemen
between truckers and shippers. GAO con-
firmed that owner-operators receive a higher
percentage of a shipment's total gross revenue
from truck brokers than they receive from
certificated carriers. Both GAO and ICC re-
ceived allegations of improper leasing practices
on the part of certificated carriers.

ICC believes the Motor Carrier Act of 1980
will change leasing and reduce improper prac-
tices. GAO agrees. However, because it is not
certain that owner-operators will take advan-
tage of the provisions of the new act,GAO
believes ICC needs to monitor leasing practices
as they evolve under the new legislation.
