In plain English

Property brokers must now clearly disclose all fees, charges, and terms when arranging shipping deals, so shippers and trucking companies see exactly what they're paying. Small shippers and carriers should request full fee disclosures from any broker they use and verify they understand all costs before agreeing to ship freight.
