The Dispatcher/Agent will act as a bona fide agent for the Carrrier, engaging with shippers on behalf of the Carrier for the purposes of managing and coordinating freight transportation, while avoiding any activities that would constitute broker services.

The Dispatcher/Agent agrees to:

- Act as the point of contact for shippers on behalf of the Carrier, with explicit understanding that they are acting under the auspices of the Carrier.

- Coordinate with shippers to arrange for the transportation of freight, without engaging in negotiations regarding freight rates.

- Provide the Carrier with all necessary details, including load details, schedules, and routes.

- Not manage any financial transactions between the shipper and Carrier.

- Not engage in allocation of traffic amongst multiple carriers, thereby avoiding any brokerage activities.

- In case of representing multiple carriers, the Dispatcher/Agent will ensure that each engagement is defined by a separate agreement, avoiding any conflicts of interest and traffic allocation.

FLAT RATE - 10% of load
