The Transport Contract Agreement serves as the foundation for commercial transportation arrangements in the United States. This document is essential when businesses need to establish formal relationships for the regular transportation of goods across state lines or within state boundaries. The agreement addresses crucial aspects such as carrier obligations, liability limits under the Carmack Amendment, insurance requirements per FMCSA regulations, and specific service terms. It's particularly vital for ensuring regulatory compliance while providing clear operational guidelines and risk allocation between parties.
