No: Such claims arise under reserved state police powers and are not preempted.

1) The question is whether federal law may preempt a state-law claim holding a broker liable for negligently hiring an unsafe trucking carrier, where the carrier's vehicle causes injury. 2) Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 grants Congress power 'To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States'; Article VI, Clause 2 (Supremacy Clause) makes valid federal laws supreme; Tenth Amendment reserves undelegated powers to States or people. 3) At ratification (1788) and Bill of Rights adoption (1791), 'commerce' meant trade and navigation across state lines, not safety of local highways or common-law duties of care; states held inherent police powers over health, safety, and morals, including tort remedies for negligence, as confirmed in Federalist No. 45 (Madison: federal powers 'few and defined,' state powers 'numerous and indefinite'). No Framer contemplated federal override of state tort liability for vehicle accidents. 4) Congress's commerce power does not extend to preempting state common-law safety claims against brokers; such torts enforce state police powers over local harms from vehicles on highways, reserved by Tenth Amendment. The claim survives any federal preemption attempt. 5) Downstream, states may enforce negligence standards against brokers and carriers without federal interference; federal deregulation of prices/routes remains intact but cannot touch safety torts; overrules post-1900 expansions like Wickard v. Filburn applying commerce power to local activities.
