Episode 22: How the Loper Bright SCOTUS Decision on Chevron Could Impact Trucking

The “Chevron Doctrine”, a principle that was decided by the Supreme Court in 1984 and has had a significant influence over federal regulations, was recently overturned by this Supreme Court. This doctrine, a pillar of administrative law that has influenced federal rulemaking over the last 40 years, directed courts to defer to federal agencies when interpreting sometimes ambiguous statutes enacted by Congress. In this podcast episode, we explore the Chevron Doctrine, the recent decision made by the court and its significance, the impact on the trucking industry and what it will mean going forward. Joining this episode are guests Prasad Sharma, Partner at Scopelitis Garvin Light Hanson & Feary, and Bill Zenk, Executive Vice President at TrueNorth Companies.
