requires the Federal Motor Carrier

establish the TLTF. The TLTF will 

examine the terms, conditions, and 

equitability of common truck leasing 

arrangements, particularly as they 

impact owner-operators and trucking 

businesses subject to such agreements 

and submit a report on the task force’s 

identified issues and conclusions 

regarding truck leasing arrangements, 

including recommended best practices, 

to the Secretary, the Secretary of Labor, 

and the appropriate committees of 

Congress. The TLTF will work in 

coordination with, and be informed by, 

the United States Department of Labor. 

The TLTF operates in accordance 

with FACA under the terms of the TLTF 

charter, filed February 11, 2022, and 

amended April 28, 2023.
