Trucking Security and CCP Disclosure Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill would stop any trucking company from hauling U.S. military cargo if they are owned by or have close business ties to Chinese military companies. This rule applies to everyone involved in the job, including the main company, smaller subcontractors, and independent drivers.
• To keep working with the military, trucking companies would have to sign a legal document proving they do not have these foreign connections. If a company lies about their ties, they could be banned from government work and face heavy fines.
• The government would create a new Secure Defense Freight Carrier Registry. Starting one year after the bill passes, only companies on this list would be allowed to bid on or carry out military transportation contracts.
• To get on the list, companies and their drivers must pass extra security checks every two years. These checks look for foreign influence and make sure drivers meet high safety and security standards, similar to the background checks used at major shipping ports.
• The goal is to protect national security by making sure foreign adversaries cannot track, delay, or interfere with the movement of military supplies across the United States.
