Stop Scamming Truckers Act mandates clear disclosures for private entities communicating about USDOT numbers.

The Stop Scamming Truckers Act requires private entities to clearly disclose their non-governmental status in communications about USDOT numbers. These disclosures must be in a legible font and cannot be obscured or contradicted. The Act also prohibits misleading representations that imply affiliation with federal agencies. Violators face civil actions with potential damages, statutory penalties, and legal fees. The Act aims to prevent confusion and protect motor carriers, especially small businesses and owner-operators, from unnecessary costs.
