The Freight Forwarder Carrier Agreement is essential when a freight forwarder needs to establish a formal relationship with carriers to transport customer goods. This contract type is commonly used in the United States logistics industry and must comply with federal transportation regulations, including FMCSA requirements. The agreement typically covers service terms, liability allocation, insurance requirements, pricing structures, and operational procedures. It's particularly important for maintaining regulatory compliance and establishing clear responsibilities between parties in the transportation chain.
