This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until the ending date listed above. I understand that I will be notified via email when DISPATCH debit my account each week.

[CARRIER]. The DISPATCH and the CARRIER have, upon due consideration, determined that a contract agreements to their mutual advantage

RELATIONSHIP

The relationship of CARRIER to DISPATCH shall, at all times, be that of an independent contractor. DISPATCH agrees to solicit, and offer freight transportation shipments for CARRIER from and to such locations between service may be required, subject to the availability of suitable equipment. DISPATCH shall be the agent for CARRIER for searching for loads, booking them, dispatching, handle all paperwork directly with the broker and/or shipper, including advances, and any load problems.

TERM

The term of this AGREEMENT shall be effective as of the date hereof, and shall continue thereafter for a term of one (1) year of such date, and automatically from year to year thereafter, subject to the right of either party hereto to cancel the AGREEMENT at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice by certified mail of one party to another.

DISPATCH SERVICE METHOD

DISPATCH’s objective is to design a pro-active logistic plan a week in advance, based on CARRIER’s territory preference. The plan is influence by the current situation on the market and/or region, in order to to take advantage of the most profitable loads. DISPATCH’s logistics coordinators (dispatchers) will find loads that best matches CARRIER's preference, and communicate such options with CARRIER and/or it’s driver. Once CARRIER agrees to accept the load, DISPATCH will send all necessary and required supporting documents to broker/shipper. Once the load confirmation is received, it is forward to CARRIER, for it’s records. DISPATCH agrees to “assist” CARRIER with any load issues, road assistance, advances, paperwork, and/or billing issues.

COMPENSATION

The amount due to DISPATCH, will be automatically deducted from a Debit/Credit Card provided by CARRIER on this agreement. By the end of the business day of receiving the load confirmation from brokers/shippers, DISPATCH will charge the Debit/Credit Card on file for the agreed service rendered. In case that the load gets cancelled by broker/shipper for any reason, CARRIER will receive a credit for the amount of the load in question for future loads. However, if the load gets canceled by CARRIER for any reason, (i.e. breakdown, etc.) CARRIER will not receive credit for the load in question. On the other hand, CARRIER will be compensated directly from other brokers/shippers handling the load, or from a factoring company chosen by CARRIER.
