WHEREAS, CARRIER is a motor carrier of property authorized to provide transportation of

WHEREAS, BROKER is duly registered with the FMCSA as a property transportation broker;

THEREFORE, the Parties mutually agree as follows:

I. Representations and Legal Status of Parties

a. CARRIER represents and warrants that it is a Registered motor carrier of property authorized
to provide transportation of property under contracts with shippers and receivers and/or
brokers of general commodities, and that such registration meets all federal or state
requirements. CARRIER shall obtain and make available to BROKER, upon request, copies of
the CARRIER’s registrations.
b. CARRIER shall transport property under its own operating authority and subject to the terms
of this Agreement. Such authority shall cover the commodities and geographical scope of all
transportation provided under this Agreement.
c. BROKER represents that it is duly registered with the FMCSA as a property transportation
broker as defined by 49 U.S. C. 13102(2).
d. Independent Contractor: It is understood and agreed that the relationship between BROKER
and CARRIER is that of independent contractor and that no employer/employee or agency
relationship exists or is intended. None of the terms of this Agreement, or any act or omission
of either Party shall be construed for any purpose to express or imply a joint venture,
partnership, principal/agent, fiduciary, or employer/employee relationship between the
Parties. CARRIER is solely responsible for operating the equipment and directing, managing,
monitoring, and controlling the personnel necessary to transport the freight under this
Agreement. BROKER has no control over CARRIER, including but not limited to routing of
freight, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to be inconsistent with this provision.
It is further understood and agreed that CARRIER shall and does employ, retain, or lease on its
own behalf all persons operating motor vehicles transporting commodities under this
Agreement, and such persons are not employees or agents of BROKER. All drivers of motor
vehicles and persons used or employed in connection with the transportation of commodities
under this Agreement are solely subject to the direction, control, and supervision of CARRIER
and not BROKER or BROKER’s customer.
II. Compliance with all laws, safety, and ethics standards
a. CARRIER confirms that during the term of this Agreement, it will comply with all applicable
federal, state and local laws. This includes, but is not limited to, all customs and security
laws that are applicable to motor carriers transporting goods either domestically in the
United States or for import or export from or to the United States.
b. CARRIER shall be solely responsible for any violation of the applicable laws and
regulations, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold BROKER and its customers harmless and
pay BROKER on demand from any claims, losses, damages, or liability incurred, including,
but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from any non-compliance.
c. CARRIER is solely responsible for any and all management, governing, discipline, direction
and control of its employees, owner/operators, and equipment with respect to operating
within all applicable federal and state legal and regulatory requirements to ensure the safe
operation of CARRIER’s vehicles, drivers, and facilities. CARRIER and BROKER agree that
safe and legal operation of the CARRIER and its drivers shall completely and without
question govern and supersede any service requests, demands, preferences, instructions,
information from BROKER or BROKER’s customer(s) with respect to any shipment at any
time. No instructions or requests given by BROKER should ever be interpreted as a request
to violate any laws or regulations or to put the safety of any person or property at risk.
d. CARRIER warrants that all drivers in its employ or to whom it subcontracts hold a valid
driver license, as required by federal and/or state regulatory agencies, and are properly
qualified and fit to perform motor carrier services provided under this Agreement.
e. CARRIER warrants that it does not have an “Unsatisfactory,” “Unfit,” or “Conditional”
safety rating issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”), U.S.
Department of Transportation, and CARRIER agrees that at no time during the term of its
contract with BROKER shall it have an “Unsatisfactory,” “Unfit,” or “Conditional” safety
rating as determined by the FMCSA. CARRIER further warrants that it has not been, is not
being investigated for, nor is it currently subject(ed) to any fines or disciplinary actions by
any governmental agency (state or federal) related to the enforcement of any safety laws
and regulations. It has no knowledge of any threatened on pending interventions by the
FMCSA nor is it subject to any investigation or disciplinary action by any state agency
related to the enforcement of safety laws and regulations. If the CARRIER’s safety rating is
changed to anything less than “Satisfactory”, such as but not limited to “Unsatisfactory,”
“Unfit”, or “Conditional”, CARRIER shall immediately notify BROKER and shall not transport
any shipment hereunder without BROKER’s prior written consent. The provisions of this
paragraph are intended to include any safety rating designations which may replace those
currently used by the FMCSA and which are subject to change by the FMCSA at any time.
Further, CARRIER warrants that none of its owners, officers, or directors have ever held a
controlling interest in a motor carrier company whose license was revoked by a
governmental authority for violation(s) of safety standards.
f. CARRIER will notify BROKER immediately if CARRIER’s federal operating authority is
threatened to be or is revoked, suspended, or rendered inactive for any reason; and/or if
CARRIER is sold, or if there is a change in control of CARRIER; and/or any of its insurance
required hereunder is threated to be or is terminated, cancelled, suspended, or revoked
for any reason.
g. BROKER shall maintain any surety bond(s)/trust(s) as required by the FMCSA.
h. BROKER will notify CARRIER immediately if its federal operating authority is revoked,
suspended, or rendered inactive for any reason and/or any insurance required hereunder
is threatened to be or is terminated, cancelled, suspended, or revoked for any reason.
 i. Bribery and Corruption: CARRIER hereby warrants that it will not directly or indirectly, and
it has no knowledge that other persons will directly or indirectly, make any payment, gift,
or other commitment in a manner contrary to applicable laws, including, but not limited
to, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. In the event of breach of this paragraph,
nothing in this Agreement shall render BROKER liable to reimburse CARRIER for any such
consideration given or promised. Breach of this paragraph shall entitle BROKER to
terminate this Agreement with immediate effect and without prejudice to any further
right or remedies on the party of CARRIER. CARRIER shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless BROKER for all liabilities, damages, costs or expenses incurred as a result of any
such violation.

CARRIER shall be fully responsible/liable for the freight from the time it takes/receives
possession thereof, regardless of whether a bill of lading has been issued, and/or signed,
and/or delivered to CARRIER, and which responsibility/liability shall continue until delivery
of the shipment to the consignee and the consignee signs the bill of lading or delivery
receipt. Any terms of the bill of lading (including, but not limited to, payment and credit
terms, released rates, or released value) inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement
shall be ineffective. Failure to issue a bill of lading or sign a bill of lading acknowledging
receipt of the cargo by CARRIER shall not affect the liability of CARRIER.
c. CARRIER will not insert, nor authorize a shipper to insert BROKER’s name on a bill of lading
as the shipper or carrier without BROKER’s express written consent and also agrees that a
shipper’s insertion of BROKER’s name as the carrier on a bill of lading shall be for the
Shipper’s convenience only and shall not change BROKER’s status as a property broker nor
CARRIER’s status as a motor carrier.
d. CARRIER will provide to BROKER, upon request, any and all bills of lading pertaining to
shipments hereunder.
e. CARRIER agrees that neither BROKER nor its customer is responsible for paying the

compensation. CARRIER agrees to provide and properly maintain the necessary
equipment and to provide all fuel and pay all expenses necessary to safely operate the
equipment, and CARRIER agrees that in no instance shall BROKER or BROKER’s customer
be responsible for any CARRIER-related expenses.

immediately report any overage, shortage or damages to BROKER by phone. If no notice
has been provided, CARRIER will be responsible for shortages or damages.

which prevent CARRIER from making a timely or safe delivery, and also agrees to use the
utmost care and due diligence in the protection of cargo.
 h. Upon delivery, CARRIER will provide to BROKER proof of delivery.

transportation of a customer’s / shipper’s freight.

under this Agreement. In addition to the indemnity obligations of this Agreement,
CARRIER will be liable for consequential damages, costs, expenses, and reasonable
attorney fees for violation of this Paragraph V.

VI. Limitation of Liability / Claims

a. CARRIER shall defend, indemnify, and hold BROKER and its shippers and/or customers
harmless from any and all claims, actions, suits, damages, or shortages, arising out of its
performance or services provided under this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
cargo loss and damage, theft, delay, damage to property, and personal injury or death.
CARRIER shall not limit its liability for loss, damage, or delay through the Carmack
Amendment (49 U.S.C. §14702 et seq.), its terms and conditions, or any other method, and
no such limits of liability are valid. CARRIER shall be solely and exclusively liable for all
legal liability claimed or arising from the transportation of any commodities under the
terms of this Agreement. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any claims, actions
or damages due to the negligence or intentional act of the other Party, or the shipper. The

Amendment; and

claims under this sub paragraph shall include legal fees which shall constitute
special damages, the risk of which is expressly assumed by CARRIER, and which
shall not be limited by any liability of CARRIER.

v. Notwithstanding the terms of 49 C.F.R. §370.9, CARRIER shall pay, decline or make
settlement offer in writing on all cargo loss or damage claims within thirty (30)
days of receipt of the claim. Failure of CARRIER to pay, decline or offer settlement
within the thirty day period shall be deemed admission by CARRIER of full liability
for the amount claimed and a material breach of this Agreement.

third parties responsible for payment.

the freight, whichever is easier, and provided CARRIER is not in default under the terms of
this Agreement. CARRIER expressly waives its rights to collection if it fails to deliver timely

assigns all of its rights to payment from shippers, consignees, or third parties to BROKER.

for all costs and expenses incurred by BROKER, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorney’s fees.

XI. Miscellaneous

binding upon any Party unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Party against

subrogees. The right of withholding and/or setoff is not an exclusive remedy and BROKER

CARRIER. In the event of default, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party.
c. Choice of Law: This Agreement and the relationship of the parties shall be construed

jurisdiction.

freight and brokerage rates, amounts received for brokerage services, amounts of
freight charges collected, freight volume requirements shared or learned between
the Parties and their customers, shall be treated as Confidential, and shall not be
disclosed or used for any reason without prior written consent except only to the
extent necessary to complete the transportation of the shipments subject to this
Agreement or as required by law. This provision shall remain in effect for 3 (three)
years following the expiration or cancellation of this Agreement.
ii. In the event of violation of this subparagraph XI(d), the Parties agree that the
remedy at law, including monetary damages, may be inadequate and that the

obligated to complete their performance obligations to each other for work in progress
and related payments.

valid and enforceable as written. The representations, rights, and obligations of the
Parties hereunder shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.
i. Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of

under this Agreement because of an occurrence beyond its control and arising without its
fault or negligence, including without limitation, war, riots, rebellion, acts of God,
pandemic, acts of lawful authorities, fire, strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes, such
failures to perform shall be excused for the duration of such occurrence. The Party that is
prevented from performing its obligations must take reasonable measures to remove or
mitigate the effects of the applicable cause. The running of all periods of time mentioned
herein and the performance of all obligations required herein shall be suspended during
the continuance of such interruption, and the Party that is prevented from performing its
 obligations shall promptly notify the other of such interruption. Such period of suspension
shall not in any way invalidate this Agreement, but on resumption of operations, any
affected performance by such Party shall be resumed. No liability shall be incurred by
either Party for damages resulting from such suspension. Economic hardships, including,
