  "account": "Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) has introduced Freight Safety Intelligence, a safety platform for the freight industry, giving brokers access to recent driving data from participating carriers. The platform uses data from carriers’ existing telematics systems and provides a carrier-level safety score based on driving behavior from the previous 90 days. The score aims to give brokers a more current, data-driven view of carrier safety, helping them evaluate carriers before booking freight. The launch follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that could open brokers to negligent-selection claims tied to carrier safety. In 2024, 5,218 large trucks were involved in fatal crashes in the U.S., according to the National Safety Council.",
