Transportation Contract

Contracts for Transportation and Logistics Services

Do you currently have a contract for your transportation and logistics services? If not, you probably should.

For the better part of the 20th Century, the transportation industry was highly regulated and there was little or no need for shippers and carriers to enter into formal contracts with each other. That has all changed now. As a result of legislative initiatives, the transportation industry has entered an era that is virtually free of government regulation.

Without regulations and government oversight, shippers and carriers must look out for themselves. The best way to protect your interests in a transaction involving transportation services, like any other business transaction, is through a contract.

Even if you currently have a contract, many of the provisions may be outdated given the extensive changes in the law. To fully protect yourself, it would be wise to have an experienced professional review and critique your existing transportation contracts.
