What it does
The Stop Scamming Truckers Act would require private entities that communicate about USDOT number registration, renewal, or compliance to include a clear disclosure stating they are not affiliated with the federal government. It prohibits such entities from using government-like names, seals, or implying that payment is required to obtain or maintain a USDOT number. The bill allows individuals who receive misleading communications to sue for damages, including statutory damages of $500 to $5,000 per violation, without needing to prove intent or reliance. It applies to any private person or entity transmitting USDOT-related communications in commerce, excluding government agencies.
