The DISPATCHER commits to managing paperwork, as well as phone and fax communications, to and from the BROKER or SHIPPER, in order to submit shipments to the CARRIER for interstate transportation within the bounds of the CARRIER’S operating authority.
The DISPATCHER assumes no financial or legal obligations in the dealings between SHIPPERS and the CARRIER agreement.
The DISPATCHER will:
a. Devote full effort to ensuring the consistent loading of truck(s).
b. Communicate with the CARRIER regarding EVERY located load, allowing the driver to either ACCEPT or REJECT the load.
c. Generate invoices for the CARRIER upon service completion; concurrently, furnish a duplicate of each Load Confirmation Sheet corresponding to the billed services for the CARRIER.
The CARRIER undertakes to compensate the DISPATCHER with either a percentage of each load or a flat fee per week, payable in advance of services rendered via Debit/Credit Card unless otherwise agreed upon.
The CARRIER grants the DISPATCHER the authority to sign rate confirmation sheets, invoices, and associated paperwork required for cargo securing and billing. This agreement is ongoing, but either party may terminate it with a 30-day written notice.
The SHIPPER commits to promptly remit payment to the CARRIER upon receiving a freight bill and proof of delivery for each shipment, free of damage or shortage. The payment terms will be agreed upon per shipment before the commencement of each transport, with load details and revenue provided through FAX or EMAIL by the SHIPPER to the CARRIER. Confirmation, signed by the DISPATCHER, will be returned via FAX or EMAIL to the SHIPPER.
The CARRIER agrees to compensate the DISPATCHER under the following terms: a. Payments to the DISPATCHER for services rendered are independent of outstanding payments owed to the CARRIER for loads hauled for the SHIPPER or BROKER. b. Failure to remit payment for services rendered will result in an immediate termination of the contract and services unless otherwise determined by the DISPATCHER.
The CARRIER holds liability for loss, damage, or liability during the transportation of property arranged by the DISPATCHER, as well as SHIPPER while in the possession of the CARRIER.
The CARRIER agrees to indemnify the DISPATCHER and SHIPPER against any liability for personal injury or property damage occurring during operations conducted by the CARRIER under this agreement.
The CARRIER is responsible for compliance with all relevant state and federal regulations governing motor carrier operations.
Both parties agree that the DISPATCHER has developed a valuable customer base, and for one year after termination, the CARRIER shall not solicit business involving transportation or warehousing with customers serviced by the CARRIER as a result of this agreement without written consent.
The CARRIER acknowledges that customer information provided by the DISPATCHER is exclusive property and agrees not to solicit, communicate, or perform services for any DISPATCHER customer without prior authorization.
Solicitation, whether direct or indirect, by the CARRIER for a customer previously serviced by DISPATCHER is prohibited, and any violation will result in compensatory payment to DISPATCHER.
Disputes will be settled through binding arbitration in the state of CA.
Breach of the agreement will result in injunctive relief, and the CARRIER agrees to pay damages in the event of a breach.
The CARRIER agrees to operate strictly as a duly permitted contract carrier, waiving any rate provisions in its published carrier tariffs.
The agreement is effective on the first date of business between the CARRIER, DISPATCHER, and SHIPPER, and it comprehensively expresses the understanding of the parties, superseding any prior written or verbal agreements.
