FREIGHT DISPATCH AGREEMENT
Please review the agreement carefully and complete all required fields before signing.
This agreement must be completed and signed before dispatch services begin.
Preamble / Parties
THIS FREIGHT DISPATCH AGREEMENT is entered into by and between Infinity Online LLC d/b/a Infinity Dispatch Services ("Dispatcher") and the undersigned Carrier.
Dispatcher is a dispatch service provider only and is not a freight broker, freight forwarder, motor carrier, insurer, factoring company, or guarantor of payment or freight.
1. Carrier Authority & Compliance
Carrier is solely responsible for maintaining active FMCSA authority and all required DOT/MC/insurance compliance, driver qualifications, hours of service, equipment safety, cargo security, claims, citations, fines, and all other legal and regulatory compliance.
2. Load Approval
Carrier retains final authority to accept or reject every load; no load is binding until Carrier or an authorized driver accepts it and the broker’s rate confirmation is received.
3. Rate Confirmation Controls
Written rate confirmation controls over any verbal promise. Detention, layover, TONU, lumper, extra stop, tracking, appointment, and other accessorial terms must be written on the rate confirmation or confirmed in writing by the broker or shipper.
4. Broker / Factoring / Payment Protection
Before booking loads, Carrier must provide factoring company details if applicable, Notice of Assignment requirements, billing email, W-9, Certificate of Insurance, and required packet documents. Dispatcher may assist with verification, but Carrier remains responsible for final payment risk unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5. Dispatch Service Fee
The dispatch service fee must be confirmed in writing before services begin. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the fee applies to gross load revenue booked or managed by Dispatcher, including collected accessorials. The fee is due within a reasonable period after Carrier or the factor receives funds, or according to the written weekly settlement terms. Unpaid fees may result in suspension of services.
6. Paperwork & Proof of Delivery (POD)
Carrier must provide signed BOL/POD, lumper receipts, detention or layover proof, scale tickets if required, and other load documents immediately after delivery or as requested. Payment delays caused by missing paperwork are Carrier’s responsibility.
7. Cancellation / Missed Load
Carrier is responsible for losses, penalties, TONU denial, broker fines, or service failures caused by late arrival, missed pickup or delivery, refusal to provide tracking, equipment failure, driver refusal, or unauthorized cancellation after accepting a load.
8. Accessorial Reporting
Carrier must notify Dispatcher immediately when detention, layover, TONU, lumper, wait time, extra stop, driver assist, scale, or any other accessorial occurs. Dispatcher is not liable if late reporting prevents collection.
9. Dispatcher Good Faith / No Guarantee
Dispatcher will use reasonable dispatch-industry care when locating freight opportunities, communicating with brokers or shippers, transmitting load information, and assisting with dispatch documentation. Dispatcher does not guarantee freight availability, broker approval, load volume, revenue, rates, or payment.
10. Confidentiality & Document Use
Carrier authorizes Dispatcher to use and share carrier packet documents, including MC/DOT/insurance/W-9/factoring information, rate confirmations, BOL/POD, and availability information, only for dispatch operations, broker packets, billing, and compliance or administrative purposes.
11. Non-Circumvention
Carrier agrees not to circumvent Dispatcher with brokers, shippers, or customers first introduced by Dispatcher or actively handled by Dispatcher during the term of this Agreement, and for 12 months after termination, except with respect to Carrier’s pre-existing relationships.
12. Independent Contractor / No Agency
The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, brokerage, fiduciary, ownership, or membership relationship between Carrier and Dispatcher.
13. Limited Liability and Indemnification
Dispatcher is not liable for cargo loss, claims, delays, payment disputes, broker insolvency, driver or equipment issues, fines, chargebacks, or consequential damages. Carrier agrees to indemnify and defend Dispatcher against claims arising from Carrier’s operations, drivers, equipment, cargo, paperwork, or regulatory noncompliance.
14. Service Period
This Agreement remains active until either party gives seven (7) days written notice to stop services. Amounts already owed, required paperwork, confidentiality duties, and non-circumvention duties continue after services stop.
15. Governing Law, Severability, and Entire Agreement
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and may be changed only in writing.
