Trucking, Drayage, and Freight Contract Disputes in Chesapeake, Virginia
Chesapeake is the logistics and trucking hub of the Hampton Roads region, anchored by Port of Virginia drayage operations, the I-64/I-264/I-464/I-664 interchange, and a dense network of distribution centers and motor carriers. Trucking and freight contract disputes here run on a different legal framework than ordinary commercial disputes. The federal Carmack Amendment preempts state law on cargo loss. FMCSA Truth-in-Leasing regulations govern owner-operator contracts. Broker-carrier payment disputes invoke federal preemption under 49 U.S.C. § 14501.
