Is the broker-carrier relationship a joint venture?

Amie Brown the widow of a Hudson firefighter Christopher Brown has filed a lawsuit  seeking more than $50,000.her husband was struck and killed March 3, 2013 by a Move It Auto Transport Inc truck when the driver, Mansur  Shakirov, failed to move into the right lane to avoid the emergency scene that the fire fighter had responded to. What is interesting to me is that the lawsuit claims that the move was a joint venture between the broker and the transport company. If the broker shares in the revenue, must he also share the liability?
