Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from carriers about broker-carrier agreements.

Do I need a contract to haul your loads?

Yes. Before you can book any load we post on load boards, a signed broker-carrier agreement must be on file. It speeds up onboarding and protects both sides.

Where do you post your loads?

We post daily auto transport loads on major load boards. Once your signed contract and insurance certificates are on file, you can see and book our loads right there.

What documents do I need besides the contract?

Typically your MC authority letter, DOT/MC numbers, W-9, Certificate of Insurance (cargo and liability) and a signed contract with each broker you work with.

Can I negotiate the terms?

The contract is a starting point. Payment terms, cancellation windows and liability limits can be discussed with the broker before signing — that's exactly why a written agreement matters.

What happens if a broker doesn't pay?

A signed contract with clear payment terms gives you grounds for a claim, bond complaint against the broker's surety bond and FMCSA broker transparency requests.
