• holding that § 14501(c)(1) “expressly preempts” state-law negligence claim against a “transportation broker”
• “Because we have federal jurisdiction in this case because of the parties’ diverse citizenship, we take no position on whether the FAAAA satisfies the standard for complete preemption.”
• “Florida law . . . recognizes an action for negligent selection of an independent contractor, which may be brought against a principal who fails to exercise reasonable care to employ a competent and careful contractor.” (alteration adopted and quotations omitted)
