Establishment of national security registry for motor carriers handling Department of Defense freight

A new registry will be created to list motor carriers approved to transport freight for the Department of Defense. To be included, carriers must meet safety and security standards, undergo background checks, and be re-evaluated every two years. Starting one year after the registry is established, only carriers on this list can bid on or perform Department of Defense freight contracts, except in urgent situations where waivers may be granted.
