of Carrier designed to meet Broker's distinct needs.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1. Shipments: This Agreement is non-exclusive, and contemplates a series of shipments without
commitment as to number. Except as otherwise specifically stated, this Agreement is governed by 49
U.S.C 14706.
2. Term: This Agreement is effective on the date first written above, shall continue in effect for a period
of one (1) year; thereafter on a month-to-month basis. It is subject to cancellation by either party at any
time upon fourteen (14) days written notice.
3. Carrier Warranties and Responsibilities: Carrier shall meet the distinct needs of Broker through
transportation of Broker's traffic at agreed upon rates to the destination or destinations set forth in Rate
and Load Confirmation agreements which by this reference are incorporated in this Agreement. Carrier
shall invoice Broker ONLY, and appoints Broker as its agent for receipt of charges for services rendered
in the movement of shipments handled by Carrier. Carrier must submit original proof(s) of delivery, any
receipts that may be considered for reimbursement, and an invoice to Broker. Carrier agrees that Broker
is the sole party responsible for payment of Carrier’s invoices and that, under no circumstance, will
Carrier seek payment from any shipper(s), consignee(s) or other party. Carrier will verify that it is
named as the “carrier of record” on bill(s) of lading at the time of shipment, and if not, make the
necessary corrections. Broker’s name remaining on any bill of lading is convenience only and shall not
affect Broker’s status as a licensed Property Broker or Carrier’s status as the Carrier. Under no
circumstance shall Carrier double-broker or tender a shipment to a third party for delivery without the
express written consent of Broker. Carrier shall maintain no less than a “satisfactory” or “Continue to
Operate” US DOT safety rating and shall be in full and strict compliance with all applicable statutes,
rules and regulations, and shall not perform service that would require Carrier, its employees or
contractors to exceed or violate applicable laws or safety regulations..
4. Equipment and Costs: Carrier shall provide, operate and properly maintain suitable equipment at its
own expense for transportation under this Agreement. Carrier shall assume and pay all costs and
expenses incident to the transportation of commodities and goods tendered under this Agreement. All

specifications and its insurance policy requirements at a minimum, and retain any records of such
maintenance and inspections for at least one (1) year.

other charge, no more than 15 days after delivery of the shipment, accompanied by those shipping

Carrier billing and appropriate documentation, barring disputes or discrepancies. Quick Pay may be
offered upon terms separately set forth which by this reference are incorporated herein.
6. Back Solicitation: (i) CARRIER shall not knowingly solicit any shipper or payor of freight and
transport or arrange for the transportation of such freight directly for such shipper or payor of freight
1 of 3
21
who first was introduced by BROKER to CARRIER. This restrictive covenant relates only to the type
traffic and in traffic lanes or territories served by CARRRIER on behalf of BROKER and relates only to
customers of BROKER with whom CARRIER had substantial business contact during the 12 months
immediately preceding termination of this Agreement. The term of the prohibited solicitation and
transportation shall be during the term of this agreement and for one (1) year thereafter; and (ii) directly
or indirectly employ, hire or otherwise engage the services of or associate in any business with any
person who is or has been employed by Broker during the term hereof, unless such participant or other
person shall have ceased to be employed by Broker for at least one (1) year.
7. Liability for Loss, Damage or Delay: Except as otherwise provided, the provisions of 49 CFR § 370
are by this reference incorporated herein. Carrier assumes liability as a common carrier for loss, damage
to, or destruction of any and all cargo while under Carrier’s possession, custody or control. Carrier shall
inspect each load at the time it is tendered to assure its condition. If Carrier is tendered a load which is
not in suitable condition, it shall notify Broker immediately. Cargo which has been tendered to Carrier
intact and without exception, and delivered in a damaged condition, or lost or destroyed prior to
delivery by Carrier shall be conclusively presumed to have been lost, damaged, or destroyed by Carrier.
Claims will be filed with Carrier by the owner of the cargo, or its agent, or by Broker. The owner of the
cargo is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. Claims will be assessed at invoice value or
destination market value as applicable; special or consequential damages may be assessed where
applicable and appropriate. Broker may deduct the full actual loss of a claim from any amount
otherwise owed Carrier. In the event of a loss, damage or delay, Carrier shall notify Broker immediately
for further instructions. Carrier shall return all undelivered shipments at the expense of the responsible
party (as determined by outcome of claim) to the point of origin or to other points as instructed. Carrier
shall waive any and all right of salvage or resale of any cargo, and shall not under any circumstance
allow cargo to be sold, made available for sale, or otherwise disposed of in any salvage markets or any
other secondary outlets, unless otherwise authorized in writing. In the event that cargo is returned and
salvaged by the owner, Carrier shall receive full credit for the actual salvage value of such cargo.
Carrier’s liability hereunder shall include legal fees reasonably incurred by Broker in the handling and
prosecution of such claims. Notwithstanding the terms of 49 CFR 370.9, Carrier shall pay, decline or
make settlement offer in writing on all cargo loss or damage claims within 120 days of receipt of such
claim. Failure of Carrier to pay, decline or offer settlement within this 120 day period shall be
conclusively deemed an admission by Carrier of full liability for the claim amount.
8. Insurance: Carrier will procure and maintain in force continuously throughout the term of this
Agreement, the following types of insurance: (i) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, in no
event less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) as; (ii) Public Liability Insurance in the amount of
not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) as required by federal regulation (BMC-91) on file;
(iii) All-Risk, non-scheduled vehicle Cargo Insurance with a per unit minimum liability limit of one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00); (iv) Employer’s Liability and Workers Compensation
Insurance with limits at or above statutory requirements for states in which Carrier shall operate, in an
amount not less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00). All insurance required by this
Agreement must be written by an insurance company having an A.M. Best rating of “B+” or better, and
must be authorized to do business under the laws of the state(s) or province(s) in which Carrier provides
transportation and related services. Carrier’s insurance shall be primary, and required to respond and
pay prior to any other available coverage. Carrier agrees that it, its insurer(s), or anyone claiming by,
through, or under Carrier shall have no claim, right of action, or right of subrogation against Broker, its
affiliates, or its customers based on any loss or liability insured under the foregoing insurance. Carrier
shall, prior to providing transportation and related services pursuant to this Agreement, name Broker as
a certificate holder on each of the foregoing insurance policies, and shall cause its insurance company or
agent to issue a certificate to Broker evidencing the foregoing coverage. Carrier represents and warrants
that it will continuously fulfill the requirements of this section throughout the duration of this
Agreement. Broker shall be notified in writing by Carrier’s insurance company at least ten (10) days
prior to the cancellation, change, or non-renewal of the submitted insurance policies. If Carrier is self-
insured, a certificate of the state in which the transportation services are to be performed must be
furnished by such state agencies directly to Broker. Self-insured Insurance will meet or exceed the
requirements of federal and state regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over Carrier’s performances
2 of 3
22
pursuant to this Agreement. It is expressly understood that Broker does not represent that the types or
minimum limits of the insurance set forth herein are adequate to protect Broker’s interests, and do not
constitute limits of liability.
9. Status of Carrier: In the performance of the transportation services, Carrier shall be an independent
for-hire contract carrier and shall not be nor act as either agent or employee of Broker. Carrier
understands it has exclusive control and direction of the work it performs pursuant to this Agreement.
Carrier assumes full responsibility for the payment of all local, state, federal and intra-provincial payroll
taxes, and contributions or taxes for unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation insurance,
pensions, and other social security or related protection with respect to the persons engaged by Carrier

Identification Number either by IRS Form W-9, or an alternative form given by Broker prior to
commencing any transportation or related services under this Agreement.
10. Applicable Law/Jurisdiction and Venue: The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the State of Georgia. Any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, or the
breach thereof, shall be resolved in a court having jurisdiction in the county of Hall, in the state of
Georgia. The parties waive the right to jury. All costs, including reasonable attorney fees shall be
assessed against the losing party.
11. Indemnification: Carrier shall indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless Broker, its customers, and
the subsidiaries and respective officers, directors, employees, and contractors of Broker and its
Customers, from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits,

witnesses, which are the result of or arising out of any or all of the work or services performed under
this Agreement by Carrier, its employees, or its contractors, except claims resulting from the sole
negligence of Broker.
12. Entire Agreement: This Agreement, together with the Rate and Load Confirmation constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties. This Agreement may only be modified by a separate written
agreement, signed by both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, the
remainder of this Agreement shall remain in force and effect with the offensive term or condition being
