I will write a legally binding owner operator trucking dispatch contract
Licensed US Attorney Expert Logistics Transportation Contracts
About this Gig
Independent Freight Dispatchers operate in a legal gray area. Without a legally binding Dispatch Agreement and a Limited Power of Attorney (POA), you risk being classified as an unlicensed broker by the FMCSA, leading to massive fines.
As a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #171123), I draft airtight Owner-Operator Dispatch Agreements that clearly define your role, ensure you get paid, and protect you from liability.
Your Dispatch Agreement will include:
- Clear Independent Contractor Status
- Fee Structures (Percentage of linehaul or flat fee)
- Limited Power of Attorney (POA) for signing Rate Cons
- Indemnification & Liability Waivers
- Termination & Dispute Resolution Clauses
Disclaimer: I provide legal drafting services online only. I do not provide litigation services or appear in court.
Dont operate on a handshake or a cheap internet template. Protect your dispatching agency today!
