If the sentence “Whenever a Truck’s Business Associates change, the Yard should privately notify them of that change.” exists in the rule “Referrals”, remove it.
Per comments on Duopoly Agreements, betrayal generally isn’t an issue in BlogNomic so this is mostly going to be me pinging people to tell them something they already know. It may also slow things down a bit if some players decide to wait for these confirmatory notifications before setting a Menu.
(And there’s still room for betrayal or other confusion in this anyway; if you’re notified that your Business Association has been unexpectedly dissolved while you’re offline, the Phase may end before you can react to the news.)

OK, I’m a bit confused as to what you’re trying to do here. You’re a Business Associate with player B not if you have player B in your referral but if player B has you in their referral, so it’s not “something they already know”.
I wrote in that bit after Vovix commented on Private Business Matters “Given that Referrals require pairing up to work, I’d rather keep them public so you know who’s referring you.” It was just to clarify that you’ve been referred.
Still, I don’t have strong enough views on this to merit a
, so 
. (I believe that makes my vote DEF; please tell me if this is not the case)
