I will draft a legally binding freight broker agreement as a US attorney
Licensed US Attorney, Transportation and Logistics Law Expert
About this Gig
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #161939), I provide freight brokers with legally binding, FMCSA-compliant agreements. A generic internet template leaves your brokerage highly vulnerable to double-brokering scams, devastating cargo claims, and vicarious liability. I draft ironclad Broker-Carrier Agreements that protect your bottom line and operations.
Key Legal Provisions Included:
- Anti-Double Brokering: Strict clauses with financial penalties to ensure freight stays with the assigned carrier.
- Cargo Liability: Carmack Amendment protections shielding you from freight damage costs.
- Invoicing & Payment: Clear legal rules for offsets, claim deductions, and pay periods.
- Insurance Mandates: Strict Auto, Cargo, and Workers' Comp limits.
- Independent Contractor Language: Defense against vicarious liability lawsuits.
Stop risking your brokerage on unverified documents. Secure your business with a professionally drafted legal contract. Review the packages and place your order directly.
