This bill, titled the Predatory Truck Leasing Prevention Act of 2025, mandates the Secretary of Transportation to establish regulations within one year to prohibit predatory commercial motor vehicle lease-purchase programs . These programs are broadly defined as arrangements where a motor carrier controls a driver's work, compensation, and debts, while the driver fails to accrue or is forced to surrender equity in the leased truck. The legislation specifies that such programs include the lease-purchase agreement itself, the driver's work contract, and the motor carrier's recruitment, operational, tax, and finance practices. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary to create a process for drivers to obtain relief from lease-purchase agreements that are found to violate the new regulations and were entered into after their effective date, ensuring protection for affected drivers.
