Broker-Carrier Agreements: Everything You Need to Know

On any given day, freight brokers work with shippers of all types to pinpoint capacity and rates, use load boards to find qualified carriers, and handle mounds of documentation and paperwork. One of the most important pieces of paperwork is the broker-carrier agreement.

Once you’ve found a driver to haul your shipper’s freight and both of you have agreed on the rate, it’s time for the broker-carrier agreement. This document ensures the carrier delivers the product within specified parameters, knows his/her responsibilities, and understands how payment will work.

How do you create a broker-carrier agreement? How should it be structured and what should it include? Here’s what goes into a solid broker-carrier agreement.

What is a broker-carrier agreement?
In its most basic form, the broker-carrier agreement is a contract between two or more parties that details legally enforceable mutual obligations.

Going a little deeper into Law 101, that enforceable contract must contain mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance.

Here’s what happens from an industry perspective.

1.You post a load and offer a rate (the “offer”).
2. The carrier accepts the offer and its terms (the “acceptance”).
3. The subsequent broker-carrier agreement then outlines the:
Obligations (requirements)
Consideration (rates and charges)
Capacity (qualifications and abilities of both parties)
Key sections in a broker-carrier agreement

Broker-carrier agreements come in a variety of formats and layouts. But no matter which version you choose, any agreement should include the following:

Legal status of parties and services

Who’s involved. Always include the names of the parties involved, such as the carrier’s name and company, your name, and the name of your firm. Also include the carrier’s motor carrier and/or license number.

Date and term. Any agreement requires a start and endpoint. In this section, list when the contract terms begin and when they end. Here you might also include any rules for terminating this agreement.

Scope of services

Geography and commodity. The agreement must include precise information about the product being transported and the origination point and destination. Anything outside of this scope could be considered a breach of the agreement.

Specific services. Sometimes extra duties are involved beyond hauling items. The carrier might be responsible for loading or unloading, palleting or packing, cargo protection, or other steps. Make sure these are clearly outlined before anyone signs.

Subcontractor prohibition. When the carrier signs for a particular load, they’re 100% responsible for transporting it. The carrier isn’t allowed to “sub” out that work without your approval

Rates, charges, terms, and conditions

Freight rates.
Agreed-to freight rates are outlined, as are any additional charges. Such information might also be included in an attached load or rate confirmation sheet.

Payment.
Payment specifics include how the carrier will be paid, through what method, and when.

Equipment and labor.
In most cases, the driver will be responsible for providing equipment and labor to get the job done. But, this should be spelled out in the agreement, so the carrier understands that these provisions are his or her responsibility.

Bills of lading.
Here, the carrier agrees to either issue a bill of lading, or to sign one outlining the type, condition, and quantity of goods being delivered.

8 tips on how to winterize your semi-truck

With cold temperatures and snowy weather approaching much of the U.S., now is the time for owner-operators to start winterizing their trucks.

Spending the time to prepare your semi-truck for winter prevents unnecessary accidents and breakdowns from happening, which means less time in the shop and more time hauling loads and making money.

1. Check your battery and electrical systems.
Because batteries drain quicker in cold weather, now’s the time to inspect your truck’s battery to ensure it’s securely mounted, has no corrosion and doesn’t need to be replaced. Make sure all connections are tightened and cleaned.

Look over the electrical wiring for damage and the alternator and starter for corrosion and frays.
Monitor your water separator daily once the temperature falls. Prevent condensation from forming inside the fuel tank by draining water when necessary.

2. Look over the fuel filter and water separator.
Ensure the fuel filter is in working condition and consider changing it before winter starts. Consider bringing additional filters with you out on the road in case your current one fills with water.

Monitor your water separator daily once the temperature falls. Prevent condensation from forming inside of the fuel tank by draining water when necessary.

3. Start using fuel additives.
While you’re at the pump, add anti-gel additives to ensure fuel continues to pass through your fuel filter. Keep extra anti-gel fuel additives in your truck at all times.

4. Install an electric block heater.

If you are an owner-operator who spends a lot of time in cold-temperature regions, consider installing an electric block heater to keep your engine warm while your truck is turned off.

5. Inspect the cooling system.
Trucks threaten to overheat in the winter because their engines are working extra hard. Before winter arrives, check your radiator for leaks, inspect the hoses for bulges and look over the hose clamps for damage. Secure any loose components.

This is also a good time to flush out your cooling system and replace your antifreeze. Make sure you replace your antifreeze with the proper amount.

6. Prepare your windshield.
If your windshield wiper fluid is getting low, refill it and switch to a cold temperature blend. Ensure your windshield wipers are working properly and invest in a new set if they aren’t.

7. Check your tires.
Check each tire to make sure they are properly inflated, have plenty of tread left and don’t have any cracks or degraded rubber.

Speaking of tires, carry tire chains with you and review how to put tire chains on your semi-truck.

8. Clean the air tanks the inspect the air dryer.

Check your air dryer to ensure it’s functioning properly and inspect it for leaks and corrosion. You can clean your air tanks by removing the drain plugs and allowing them to dry.

Your air dryer stops water from icing over brake lines, so it’s important to keep the air dryer in good condition.
