BROKER-CARRIER AGREEMENT
This Broker-Carrier Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into this ______ day of
_________________, 20____ by and between ____________________________________(“Carrier”), a______________________ organized under the laws of ______________________________, MC-___________ (“Carrier”), and MR BEAR LOGISTICS INC, a S-Corporation organized under the laws of CALIFORNIA, MC- 960017 (“Broker”)(or collectively “Parties”) is entered into for the purpose of specifying the terms and conditions under which Broker will engage Carrier to perform motor contract carriage and related services for Shippers (the “Services”), and under which Carrier will render those Services.
WHEREAS, Broker shall from time to time offer Carrier the opportunity to transport freight within the United States, Canada, or Mexico; and
WHEREAS, Carrier wishes to have the opportunity of transporting such freight; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of one dollar ($1.00), the mutual promises contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
This Agreement shall be effective as of the date written above and shall continue for a period of one (1) year. This Agreement shall thereafter continue in effect from year to year on the same terms and conditions, unless terminated by either party upon ten (10) days advance written notice. Unless later provisions of this Agreement provide otherwise, Broker and Carrier expressly and mutually waive to the extent permissible under law any and all rights and remedies each may have under Part B of the Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995, 49 U.S.C. § 13101-14914 (“ICCTA”) including but not limited to provisions of 49 U.S.C. § 14101. Carrier’s Rules Circular (if any) and tariff rates & provisions (if any) shall be of no legal force or effect and the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any such circulars, tariff rates and provisions. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as waiving any provision governing Carrier’s compliance with registration, insurance and/or safety fitness related requirements relative to motor carriers.
2. In the performance of the services relating to this Agreement Carrier shall be an independent
contractor to Broker and shall not be or act as an agent or employee of the Broker. Broker shall not have the right to control the time, manner nor method by which Carrier or its employees or contractors execute the work performed by Carrier. This Agreement shall be construed in all respects taking into consideration the overriding intention of the parties that Carrier be an independent contractor and not an employee of Broker or Broker’s customer(s). Broker is not an agent for carrier, shipper, consignee or any other person or entity associated with transportation of the loads, except for the limited purpose of

carrying out its duties as a freight broker. No joint venture relationship exists between Carrier and Broker.
3.
Broker, at Broker’s sole discretion, may offer Carrier the opportunity to transport goods (hereinafter “loads”) for Broker’s customers (who may be shippers, consignors, consignees or others). The parties’ representatives shall negotiate Carrier’s freight charges (including accessorial charges and fuel surcharge) and any additional terms pertaining to each load and upon agreement, the load details and freight charges for each load shall be set forth in a rate confirmation form (“the Confirmation”) which shall be signed by the parties’ representatives. Unless set forth in the Confirmation, or in any supplemental Confirmation (which must be signed by the parties’ representatives) pertaining to each load, Carrier shall not be entitled to bill or collect any additional rates or charges.
4. The Shipper or Carrier may issue a standard uniform straight Bill of Lading (“BOL”) for all
loads, however, regardless of who prepares the BOL, Carrier will ensure that each BOL will name Carrier, and not Broker, as the as the carrier. In the event that Broker (or any other person/entity other than Carrier) is erroneously designated as the carrier of the load, such shall not change Broker’s status as a property broker or Carrier’s status as the carrier of such load. Carrier shall become fully responsible and liable for each load pursuant to the Carmack Amendment (49 USC 14706) and as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement and the Confirmation. Cargo lost and damaged shall be valued and paid by Carrier at Broker’s customer’s invoice price at destination. Cargo claim processing shall be as provided by 49 CFR 370. Carrier’s cargo liability shall be primary notwithstanding that Broker may enter into an agreement with Broker’s customer whereby Broker assumes joint liability with Carrier or Broker otherwise assumes some degree of liability for cargo loss, damage or delay. Carrier agrees that any Broker agreement made with Broker’s customer whereby Broker assumes any liability for cargo loss, damage or delay shall constitute an assumption of liability only as between Broker and Broker’s customer and that Carrier shall not be a third-party beneficiary of any such agreement. As between Broker and Carrier Broker shall have no cargo liability.
5. Carrier shall pick-up, transport, and delivers the load with reasonable dispatch within time-
frames set forth in the Confirmation. Carrier shall not agree to transport a load and shall not transport a load unless it can do so utilizing a driver or drivers who are compliant in all regards with applicable laws and who can pick-up, transport, and deliver the load within applicable hours of service regulations. Carrier shall utilize its own equipment which shall be in safe and sound condition, suitable for the freight to be transported, and compliant with all applicable laws and the Confirmation requirements. Carrier shall not cut or otherwise tamper with the seal on sealed trailers or containers without a signed written authorization from Broker or Broker’s customer expressly authorizing such. Carrier shall not salvage any cargo goods without a signed written authorization from Broker or Broker’s customer Initials: Carrier: _________

expressly authorizing such. Carrier shall be fully responsible for any dishonest acts of its employees, contractors and agents. Although Broker may from time to time communicate with Carrier regarding pick-up, transport, and delivery of the loads, any routing communication/instructions from Broker to Carrier are for information purposes only. Under no circumstances shall Carrier’s driver communicate in any manner with any of Broker’s personnel when doing so would be unsafe or would violate any law prohibiting such communication.
6. (A) Upon Carrier’s completion of its obligations with regard to each load, Carrier shall promptly
provide Broker with the applicable signed bill of lading, signed delivery receipt, and any other proof of delivery and related documents which Broker may request. Upon receipt of such documents and Carrier’s invoice, and provided that Carrier has fully completed performance of its obligations without loss, damage, or delay, Broker shall pay Carrier’s freight charges within thirty (30) days. Broker shall conduct all billing services to shippers and other responsible parties. Unless Broker breaches its payment obligation to Carrier and Carrier’s written notice of such to Broker, Broker’s customer’s payment of freight charges to Broker shall constitute payment to Carrier and Carrier shall not contact Broker’s customers regarding freight charges nor bill or attempt to collect freight charges from any entity other than Broker.
(B) Carrier’s receipt of full payment from Broker shall constitute an assignment by Carrier to
Broker of all of Carrier’s rights to collect freight charges from any shipper, consignor, consignee, or any other person or entity for transportation of the load(s) for which Carrier has been fully paid by Broker. Such assignment includes, but is not limited to Carrier’s collection rights and rights to sue. Said assignment shall occur automatically upon Carrier’s receipt of full payment from Broker for such load(s) without the necessity of any further documentation of such assignment, however, upon Broker’s request Carrier shall execute and deliver to Broker a separate document (in form reasonably satisfactory to Broker) setting forth and memorializing such assignment.
7. Carrier Agrees, Represents And Warrants That During the Term of this Agreement That Carrier: (A) Is duly licensed, permitted, and authorized by all federal, state and local authorities to
perform the carrier transportation services to be performed hereunder and will not transport any load if any federal, state or local license, permit or authority is revoked, suspended or rendered inactive for any reason or if transporting a load would be illegal or unsafe for any reason;
(B) Shall safely pick-up, transport & deliver loads under its own operating authority; (C) Shall not re-broker, assign or interline the loads without prior written consent of Broker. If
