The relationship of CARRIER to DISPATCH shall at all time be that of an

independent contractor. DISPATCH agrees to solicit and offer freight transportation

shipments for CARRIER from and to such locations between services may be required,

subject to the availability of suitable equipment. DISPATCH shall be the agent for

CARRIER for searching for loads, booking them, dispatching and handle all paperwork

directly with the broker and/or shipper.

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 renew

from year to year thereafter, subject to the right of either party hereto to cancel the

AGREEMENT at any time upon not less than seven (7) days written notice by certified

mail of one (1) party to another.

DISPATCH 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 take advantage of the most

profitable loads. DISPATCH logistic coordinators (dispatchers) will find loads that

best match CARRIER's preference, and communicate such options with CARRIER

and/or its driver. Once CARRIER agrees to accept the load, we (DISPATCH) will

send all necessary and required supporting documents to broker/shipper. Once the

load confirmation is received, it is forward to CARRIER for its records. DISPATCH

agrees to “assist” CARRIER with paperwork.

FLAT RATE - 10% of load

***15% for CONTRACT Lanes***

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, we (DISPATCH) will charge

the Debit/Credit Card on file for the agreed service rendered. If the CARRIER chooses

to be invoiced then the CARRIER agrees to NONE AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS and agrees

to pay the invoice within four (4) hours. The invoice can be paid via Credit/Debit

Card, ACH, PayPal or Cashapp. CARRIER will be compensated directly from the broker

or shipper handling the load or from a factoring company chosen by CARRIER.

CARRIER agrees that it will not solicit traffic from any shipper, consignor, or customer

of DISPATCH where the CARRIER transports loads or is made aware of such traffic, as
