Brazil ANTT suspends five carriers for violating minimum freight rates

Brazil's National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) has begun suspending registrations of road cargo carriers that repeatedly violate the minimum freight rate, with the first five suspensions published in the Official Gazette. The measure, effective 72 hours after publication, targets companies with a history of hiring or subcontracting below the legal floor. This marks the first enforcement action since the minimum freight policy was established, signaling a shift from regulation to active compliance enforcement.
