About this Gig
Motor Carriers bear the heavy lifting in logistics, but without a powerful contract, you risk non-payment, unjust cargo claims, and broker abuse. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #161939), I draft customized Motor Carrier Agreements that aggressively protect your trucking business.
What your Carrier Agreement covers:
- Revenue Protection: Clear terms mandating detention pay, layovers, TONU (Truck Ordered Not Used), and late fees.
- Cargo Liability Limits: Strategic Carmack Amendment wording to limit your exposure to freight damage claims and unjust pay deductions.
- Non-Solicitation Defense: Ensuring shippers and brokers cannot unfairly penalize you.
- Loading/Unloading Terms: Protecting drivers from uncompensated lumper fees or hazardous loading docks.
You need a contract that legally forces brokers and shippers to respect your bottom line. My legal drafting ensures your rights are protected in state and federal courts. Select your package and order now for immediate protection.

FAQ
Will this help me enforce detention pay?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include explicit clauses demanding compensation for detention and TONU.
Does this protect me from cargo damage deductions?
Yes, the contract legally caps your liability limits under federal law to prevent brokers from arbitrarily withholding your pay.
Can I use this with both Shippers and Brokers?
Yes, I can tailor the document to protect you regardless of whether you are hauling for direct shippers or freight brokers.
Is a lawyer required in my state for this?
No. Transportation law is federally governed by the FMCSA. I include a specific state jurisdiction clause for your local protection.
Can I reuse this document?
Yes, the final delivery is a Word Document template you can use for all future clients.
