CRST LOGISTICS, INC. TRANSPORTATION CONTRACT

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in this Transportation Contract (the "Contract"), CRST LOGISTICS, INC. MC# 246255, a licensed transportation BROKER ("BROKER") and ________________________ ,

a licensed motor CARRIER ("CARRIER") operating under MC#_______________ agree as follows:

1.Services and Term. CARRIER agrees to provide transportation and related services for BROKER and to satisfy distinct transit and pricing requirements agreed to by the parties from time to time during this Contract's term. These transit and pricing requirements will be confirmed in BROKER's written rate confirmation sheet that will be issued for every load CARRIER transports for BROKER during this Contract's term. This Contract's term commences on

___________, 20____, and shall continue in effect until terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other party. During this Contract’s term and for a period of twelve (12) months following its termination for any reason, CARRIER will not “back solicit” traffic from any shipper, consignor, consignee or customer of BROKER where (1) the availability of such traffic first becomes known to CARRIER as a result of BROKER’s efforts and/or (2) the traffic was first tendered to CARRIER by BROKER. CARRIER shall pay BROKER, during this Contract's term and for the first twelve (12) months following the termination of this Contract, 20% of the gross amount invoiced by CARRIER for its services concerning each load that breaches the foregoing covenant to not "back solicit," as liquidated damages, and CARRIER shall be liable for all costs incurred by BROKER in enforcing this provision, including, but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees.

2.Independent Contractor Status. CARRIER's services pursuant to this Contract shall be rendered as an independent contractor of BROKER. The relationship of employer and employee does and shall not exist between BROKER and any of CARRIER's workers or helpers. CARRIER's employees shall be subject to the control and direction of CARRIER at all times, and CARRIER shall be solely responsible for compensating its employees and providing at CARRIER's sole expense employment benefits of whatever nature for CARRIER's employees. BROKER shall not provide nor be responsible to pay for any compensation and/or benefits for any of CARRIER's officers, employees or agents. As an independent contractor, CARRIER is responsible to and shall secure and pay at CARRIER's sole cost (1) any and all insurance as may be required by law, including by way of illustration but not limited to worker's compensation insurance and disability insurance, and (2) all required payroll taxes, whether federal, state or local in nature, including, but not limited to, income taxes, FICA taxes, unemployment compensation taxes, and any other fees, charges or licenses required by law. If a court or administrative agency finds that CARRIER or any other officer, employee or agent of CARRIER is an employee of BROKER in the performance of services pursuant to this Contract, and/or BROKER is otherwise responsible for the payment of some or all of CARRIER's payroll taxes, insurance costs and/or employee benefits, then CARRIER shall indemnify and hold BROKER, its officers, employees and agents harmless and shall pay all of BROKER's (and BROKER's officers', employees', and agents') related fines, damages, assessments, benefits, and attorneys' fees.

3.Compensation. BROKER shall compensate CARRIER for each load transported by CARRIER at the rate identified in the written rate confirmation sheet issued by BROKER with respect to such load. BROKER shall pay such compensation within 28 days after the first date on which BROKER has received from CARRIER all of the following items relating to such load: CARRIER’s invoice, including the assigned rate confirmation number, the shipper’s bill of lading, a signed delivery receipt proving exception-free delivery, any receipts proving preauthorized reimbursement expenses, and all other documents required by BROKER or the shipper. CARRIER agrees that BROKER may withhold any compensation due pending settlement between the parties of any claims of the type referenced in paragraph 5 of this Contract. BROKER and CARRIER agree that BROKER is the sole party responsible for payment of CARRIER’s Charges. CARRIER shall not seek payment from any shipper or consignee if the shipper can prove payment to BROKER.

4.Bills of Lading. CARRIER agrees that a Shipper’s insertion of BROKER’s name as the CARRIER on a bill of lading shall be for the Shipper’s convenience only and shall not change BROKER’s status as a property BROKER nor CARRIER’s status as a motor carrier. CARRIER shall issue a bill of lading in compliance with 49 U.S.C. 80101 et se.,49 C.F.R. 373.101 (and any amendments thereto), for the property it receives for transportation under this Contract. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, CARRIER shall become fully responsible/liable for the freight when it takes/receives possession thereof, and the trailer(s) is loaded, regardless of whether a bill of lading has been issued, and/or signed, and/or delivered to CARRIER, and which responsibility/liability shall continue until delivery of the shipment to the consignee and the consignee signs the bill of lading or delivery receipt. Any terms of the bill of lading (including but not limited to payment terms, released rates or released value) inconsistent with the terms of this Contract shall be ineffective. Failure to issue a bill of lading, or sign a bill of lading acknowledging receipt of the cargo, by CARRIER, shall not affect the liability of CARRIER.

5.Hold Harmless and Indemnification. As between CARRIER, BROKER and any shipper CARRIER shall be solely responsible for any and all losses, damage, costs, claims, and liabilities associated with the transportation services it provides hereunder, including, without limitation, all claims related to personal injuries or death, and any loss or damage to the cargo while in CARRIER’s possession or while in the possession of CARRIER’s agents or designees. CARRIER shall indemnify and hold harmless BROKER and each shipper from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, losses, expenses (including attorneys fee and costs) or other liabilities related to or arising out

of the transportation services provided by CARRIER and/or CARRIER's failure to perform or comply with any covenant or obligation required of it by this Contract. The immediately preceding two sentences shall not apply to claims, actions or damages due to the sole negligence or intentional act or omission of BROKER. With respect to all cargo transported by CARRIER pursuant to this Contract, CARRIER’s liability for loss or delay of, or damage to such cargo shall be no less than that of a common carrier as provided for in 49 USC 14706 (the Carmack Amendment), and 49 CFR 370.1 et seq. shall govern the processing of all claims for loss or delay of, or damage to such cargo. CARRIER agrees that each shipper for whom CARRIER transports freight under this Contract is a third party beneficiary of (only) this paragraph 5 with the power to enforce its terms. CARRIER’s obligations under this paragraph 5 shall survive the termination of this Contract.

6.FMCSA Safety Standards. CARRIER shall notify BROKER immediately if its federal Operating Authority is revoked, suspended or rendered inactive for any reason; and/or if it is sold, or if there is a change in control of ownership, and/or any insurance required hereunder is threatened to be or is terminated, cancelled, suspended, or revoked for any reason. CARRIER agrees that at no time during the term of its contract with BROKER shall it have an “Unsatisfactory” or “Unfit” safety rating as determined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and that it has no knowledge of any threatened or pending interventions by FMCSA. If CARRIER receives an “Unsatisfactory” or “Unfit” safety rating, or a rating is changed from “Satisfactory” to “Conditional” or from “Continue to Operate” to “Marginal” it shall immediately notify BROKER.

7.Insurance. CARRIER shall at all times maintain the following insurance coverage: (1) Auto liability coverage covering all losses associated with the transportation services provided hereunder, with minimum coverage of $1 million per occurrence; and (2) property/casualty insurance covering the loss of any cargo for any reason without exclusion while in the custody and control of the CARRIER, with minimum coverage of $100,000 per occurrence. Such cargo coverage must cover all types of commodities without exclusion. CARRIER shall promptly provide BROKER with

(1) a certificate of the foregoing policies which at BROKER’s request shall list BROKER as a certificate holder or additional insured, (2) advance written notice of any changes to such policies, and (3) such other information and documentation related to the policies that BROKER requests. In the event of a claim or loss, CARRIER will submit immediately all documents and information to support the claim to the applicable insurance company, with copies to

BROKER.

8.Governing Law. The parties' respective rights and obligations under this Contract shall be governed by (1) the rules and regulations pertaining to transportation of general commodities by motor CARRIER as promulgated by the FMCSA and (2) except as otherwise provided by the immediately preceding clause, the laws of the State of Iowa. The parties agree that the litigation of any disputes arising under this Contract shall take place in the applicable federal or state court in Linn County, Iowa, and hereby consent to such venue and jurisdiction.

9.Third Party CARRIERs. CARRIER shall not allow a third party carrier to transport any load of goods brokered to CARRIER by BROKER without BROKER’s prior express written consent, in which case the third party carrier must first sign a Transportation Contract with BROKER. In the event CARRIER double brokers any load without BROKER's prior express written consent, BROKER, in its discretion may reduce the rate for such load and/or pay the monies it owes CARRIER directly to the delivering carrier in lieu of payment to CARRIER. Upon BROKER’s payment to delivering CARRIER, CARRIER shall not be released from any liability to BROKER under this Contract. In addition to the indemnity obligation in paragraph 5, CARRIER will be liable for consequential damages for violation of this paragraph and for any other remedies and damages permitted by law and this Contract, which shall be cumulative.

10.Miscellaneous. This Contract is not assignable by CARRIER. This Contract shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties and their lawful successors, heirs, and permitted assigns. This Contract may not be amended or changed, and no term, covenant, or condition may be waived, except in a writing signed by all the parties to this Contract. The waiver of any breach of any term or condition of this Contract shall not be deemed to constitute the waiver of any other breach of the same or any other term and condition. If one or more of the provisions contained in this Contract shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not effect any other provision of this Contract. This Contract contains the entire understanding of the parties and is a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of agreement. In the event it is necessary for the enforcement of this Contract to employ legal counsel, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party for out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees.

Part II Certification

Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:

1.Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2.Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3.Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

●An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

●A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

●An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

●A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section

301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.

The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases:

●The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

Common mistakes

  1. Not providing accurate business and contact information: When filling out the CRST Logistics Carrier Packet, it's crucial to ensure all business and contact information is accurate and up-to-date. This includes the company name, SCAC code, physical and mailing addresses, main and secondary phone numbers, email addresses, and contact names for various departments. Accurate information enables CRST Logistics to communicate effectively and maintain accurate records. Errors or outdated information can lead to miscommunications and delays in becoming an approved carrier or in payment processes.

  2. Overlooking the insurance requirements: A common mistake is not adhering to the specific insurance requirements stated in the packet. Carriers need to fax a valid insurance certificate to the CRST Logistics Carrier Administration Department, showing current coverage with minimum amounts of $100,000 for cargo coverage and $1,000,000 for auto liability. Failing to provide this documentation as instructed can prevent a carrier from becoming approved to haul freight with CRST Logistics, resulting in missed business opportunities.

  3. Incorrectly filling out the Quick Pay Sign-up Sheet: The Quick Pay option is designed to expedite payment to carriers, but it requires careful attention to the sign-up details. Errors in selecting the payment method, not including a voided check for direct deposit setup, or inaccurately filling out contact information can delay payments. Ensuring that all sections are completed correctly and that the carrier representative's signature is included verifies that the carrier agrees to the Quick Pay terms.

  4. Not indicating service capabilities and preferences properly: On the Carrier Profile Form, carriers are asked to identify the types of services they offer, such as whether they are Hazmat certified or if they offer team driving. Additionally, carriers must indicate their operating zones. Neglecting to specify these preferences and capabilities can limit the freight opportunities that CRST Logistics offers to the carrier. It is essential to review and select all applicable options to ensure visibility and consideration for the widest range of possible loads.

These mistakes can hinder the process of becoming an approved carrier for CRST Logistics and affect the efficiency of subsequent freight management operations. Taking the time to carefully review and accurately complete each section of the packet is essential for a successful partnership with CRST Logistics.

Documents used along the form

When engaging with logistics and transport activities, especially when becoming an approved carrier for companies like CRST Logistics, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the essential forms and documents involved in the process. These documents not only serve to ensure legal compliance and facilitate smooth operations but also help in establishing a transparent relationship between carriers and logistics companies. The following list includes forms and documents that are often used in conjunction with the CRST Logistics Carrier Packet:

  • Bill of Lading (BOL): This is a legally binding document between the carrier and the shipper that details the type, quantity, and destination of the goods being carried. It serves as a receipt of freight services, a contract between a freight carrier and shipper, and a document of title.
  • Proof of Delivery (POD): This document confirms that the recipient has received the cargo. It typically includes the date of delivery, the name of the person who received the shipments, and sometimes the exact time the goods were delivered.
  • Rate Confirmation Sheet: This document outlines the agreed rates and services between the carrier and the brokerage or freight company. It includes details such as pick-up and delivery locations, dates, fees, and any special instructions.
  • Fuel Surcharge Agreement: Given the fluctuating costs of fuel, this document outlines how fuel surcharge rates are calculated, applied, and adjusted. It often includes a formula or table that links the surcharge rate to the national average diesel fuel price.
  • Load Confirmation Sheet: This serves as confirmation from the freight broker to the carrier about the specifics of the load to be transported, including type, weight, pick-up, and delivery locations. It acts as a final double-check to ensure both parties agree on the load details before transport.
  • Accessorial Charges Agreement: This outlines fees for additional services outside the standard pick-up and delivery. Accessorial charges may include detention time, layovers, truck order not used (TONU), and other unforeseen charges.
  • FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) Regulations Acknowledgment: Carriers are required to comply with FMCSA regulations. This document often serves as a carrier's acknowledgment of these regulations, indicating their agreement to adhere to safety and operational standards.

Understanding and properly managing these documents can significantly enhance the operational efficiency and legal compliance of carriers. It's essential for carriers to familiarize themselves with each document's purpose and requirements. Proper documentation ensures all parties are informed and agreed upon terms, promoting a smooth and efficient logistics process. This knowledge forms the backbone of effective and legally sound logistics operations.

Similar forms

  • The Carrier Profile Form shares similarities with a standard Business Profile, which provides detailed information about a company's operations, locations, and key contact personnel. Both documents serve as an introduction to the company, outlining its key operations and business specifics.

  • The Carrier Quick Pay Sign-up Sheet is akin to a Vendor Direct Deposit Authorization Form. Both forms initiate the process for electronic funds transfers, setting up a streamlined payment method between businesses and their partners or vendors.

  • Carrier Business Enterprise Information Sheet mirrors a Diversity Supplier Information Form. Each document collects data regarding business ownership and status as minority, women, or veteran-owned enterprises, facilitating opportunities for diverse business participation in corporate supply chains.

  • Carrier Insurance Information Sheet is comparable to a general Insurance Coverage Summary. Both outline the specific limits and types of insurance coverage held by a company, including exceptions and special conditions.

  • The Carrier Transportation Contract closely aligns with a standard Service Agreement, detailing the terms and conditions under which transportation services are provided, including rates, liabilities, and responsibilities of both parties.

  • W-9 Tax Form inclusion is similar to any contractual situation requiring a Vendor Tax Identification Form. This document is essential for tax reporting purposes, enabling businesses to report income paid to contractors to the IRS.

  • CRST Logistics Company Profile shares characteristics with a Corporate Overview Document. Both offer a comprehensive view of the company’s history, mission, values, and strategic direction, intended to build trust and credibility with potential partners.

  • The CRST Logistics Operating Authority and CRST Logistics TIA Performance Certified/CRST Logistics TIA Surety Holder documents bear resemblance to Licensing and Certification Verification Forms. They provide proof of the company’s legal authority to operate and its adherence to industry standards, ensuring compliance and reliability.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the CRST Logistics Carrier Packet form, it's important to proceed with attention to detail and an understanding of the requirements. Taking the right steps can lead to a successful partnership, while missteps might result in delays or the rejection of your application. Here are essential dos and don’ts to consider:

Do:
  • Ensure Accuracy: Double-check all data you input, especially critical information like your company name, SCAC code, Federal ID #, and contact details. Accuracy in these areas is crucial for smooth communication and legal compliance.
  • Provide Complete Documents: Alongside the forms, a valid insurance certificate must be included, with CRST Logistics Inc. listed as a certificate holder. This documentation is vital for validating your compliance with insurance requirements.
  • Review Carrier Profile Options Carefully: When completing the Carrier Profile Form, thoroughly review and select the services and capabilities that accurately reflect your business offerings, such as Hazmat certification or types of trailers available. This information helps in matching you with suitable freight opportunities.
  • Opt for Electronic Communication: Whenever possible, opt for communication via email or fax for sending and receiving documents. This approach not only speeds up the process but also creates a timestamped record of all communications.
Don't:
  • Leave Sections Incomplete: Avoid skipping sections that apply to your operation. Incomplete forms can delay the processing of your application or result in being overlooked for freight opportunities that match your capabilities.
  • Forget to Sign and Date: The Carrier Representative’s signature and date are required to validate the Quick Pay Sign-Up sheet and other relevant sections. An unsigned form is typically considered incomplete and will not be processed.
  • Overlook Small Business Designations: If your business qualifies as a Minority-Owned, Woman-Owned, Veteran-Owned, or other specific designation, ensure this is clearly indicated on the Carrier Business Enterprise Information Sheet. This can open up additional opportunities within CRST Logistics’ diversity program.
  • Delay in Sending Required Paperwork: Promptly send all required paperwork, including the insurance certificate, via fax to the number provided. Delays in submitting these documents can prevent your company from being approved as a carrier and missing out on immediate freight opportunities.

Adherence to these guidelines will streamline the process of becoming an approved carrier for CRST Logistics and lay the foundation for a fruitful business relationship.

Misconceptions

When diving into the intricacies of the CRST Logistics Carrier Packet, there are several common misconceptions that one might encounter. It's essential to debunk these myths to ensure a smooth process for trucking companies looking to work with CRST Logistics.

  • Myth 1: The Packet Is Only for New Carriers.
    Many assume the packet merely serves to onboard new carriers. However, it's a comprehensive document that existing carriers also utilize for updates and compliance verification, ensuring all information is current and accurate.
  • Myth 2: Insurance Requirements Are Optional.
    Some might think the insurance stipulations are flexible. The truth is, the packet specifies non-negotiable minimum insurance requirements, including $100,000 for cargo coverage and $1,000,000 for auto liability, essential for maintaining high safety and responsibility standards.
  • Myth 3: Submission of Documents by Fax Is Outdated.
    In the digital era, faxing documents might seem archaic. Nonetheless, CRST Logistics maintains this method for submitting the initial six forms in the packet, along with a valid insurance certificate, emphasizing the importance of reliable, tried-and-true communication channels.
  • Myth 4: Quick Pay Is Automatically Available to All Carriers.
    While attractive, the Quick Pay option, which accelerates payment to carriers, requires opting in and adheres to specific conditions like a 2.5% fee on the invoiced amount, contrary to the belief that it's a standard feature for all.
  • Myth 5: The Packet Lacks Information on Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives.
    The inclusion of a Carrier Business Enterprise Information Sheet in the packet disproves this, as it actively seeks information regarding the carrier's status as possibly being a small, disadvantaged, minority-owned, woman-owned, or veteran-owned business, reflecting CRST's commitment to diversity.
  • Myth 6: Carrier Profile Updates Are Rarely Needed.
    Some may underestimate the importance of updating their carrier profile. In reality, frequent updates are encouraged to reflect changes in services, contact information, and compliance status, ensuring opportunities for new agreements and continued partnership.
  • Myth 7: Only Standard Trucking Services Are Covered.
    A common misconception is that CRST Logistics only caters to basic truckload services. By examining the carrier packet, one discovers the wide array of offerings, including bonded, hazmat, intermodal services, and more, showcasing CRST's versatility in logistics solutions.

By clarifying these misconceptions, carriers can better navigate the requirements and opportunities associated with CRST Logistics, enabling a mutually beneficial partnership rooted in clear understanding and compliance.
