I will draft a truck dispatch service agreement as a US attorney
Licensed US Attorney, Transportation and Logistics Law Expert
About this Gig
Independent truck dispatchers face intense regulatory scrutiny. If your contract is poorly drafted, the FMCSA may classify you as an "unlicensed freight broker," subjecting you to fines of up to $10,000.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #161939), I draft precise Dispatch Service Agreements that clearly establish your legal role as a "bona fide agent" of the carrier, keeping you compliant and ensuring you get paid your commissions.
Included in your Dispatch Agreement:
- Bona Fide Agent Classification: Wording that legally proves you are a dispatcher, NOT an unlicensed broker.
- Commission Enforcement: Ironclad rules legally obligating the carrier to pay your percentage or flat fee.
- Limited Power of Attorney (POA): Legal authorization allowing you to sign rate confirmations on the carrier's behalf.
- Liability Waivers: Total protection shielding you from liability if the carrier damages freight or causes an accident.
Start your dispatch business with absolute legal confidence. Review the packages and place your order immediately.
