Carrier Responsibilities Clause Samples
The 'Carrier Responsibilities' clause defines the obligations and duties that the carrier must fulfill when transporting goods or passengers. Typically, this includes requirements such as ensuring the safe and timely delivery of cargo, maintaining proper documentation, and complying with relevant laws and regulations. For example, the carrier may be responsible for handling goods with care, providing updates on shipment status, and addressing any loss or damage that occurs during transit. The core function of this clause is to clearly allocate accountability to the carrier, thereby protecting the interests of the shipper or customer and minimizing disputes over service expectations.

Carrier Responsibilities. In addition to its other covenants and responsibilities contained herein, CARRIER covenants and agrees as follows:
A. CARRIER is, and shall remain at all times throughout the term of this Agreement, a Registered Motor Carrier of Property pursuant to the above Permit/Certificate Number (sometimes referred to herein as CARRIER’s “Operating Authority”) and duly authorized and qualified to provide transportation of property in intrastate, interstate and foreign commerce under contracts with shippers and receivers and/or brokers of general commodities, including with the BROKER pursuant to this Agreement. CARRIER will immediately notify BROKER in writing if its Operating Authority is revoked, suspended or rendered inactive for any reason and for any period of time;
B. CARRIER shall make all shipments hereunder under its own Operating Authority and subject to the terms of this Agreement;
C. CARRIER shall ensure that all documents used in connection with any shipment under this Agreement, including all bills of lading, freight bills and receipts, name BROKER as the “Broker”, Carrier as the “Carrier”, shipper or consignor as the “Shipper”, and receiver or consignee as the “Receiver”. Without limiting the foregoing, CARRIER agrees that the designation in any such document to the BROKER as the “Carrier”, “Shipper” or “Receiver” shall not change BROKER’s status as a property broker or CARRIER’s status as a motor carrier. In the event of inconsistencies between the terms of this Agreement and any such documents, the terms of this Agreement (and the applicable Load Confirmation Sheet) shall govern, and no term or condition in any such document shall be binding on BROKER unless also set forth in this Agreement and/or such Load Confirmation Sheet. For purposes hereof, the term “shipper” shall be deemed to also refer to “consignor” and the term “receiver” shall be deemed to refer to “consignee”, as applicable, and vice versa.
Carrier Responsibilities. (a) Subject to its representations and warranties in Section 2 above, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to provide the necessary equipment in clean condition and good working order, and to provide qualified and competent personnel who can perform the Services required under this Agreement without violating any safety or hazardous materials regulations. Carrier will not supply equipment that has been used to transport hazardous wastes (solid or liquid), regardless of whether they meet the definition in 40 C.F.R. §261.1 et. seq. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that all shipments will be transported and delivered with reasonable dispatch, or as otherwise agreed in writing. Carrier shall not violate any law, rule, or regulation pertaining to highway or motor vehicle safety in order to make timely delivery of a shipment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as requiring a driver to perform Services within a certain time or to violate the Hours of Service Regulations.
(b) Each shipment shall be evidenced by a written form such as a bill of lading, legibly signed by the Carrier, showing the kind and quantity of the commodity received at the loading point. Such form will be evidence of receipt of the Freight by Carrier in apparent good order and condition or as may be otherwise noted on the face of such form. All such documents shall show the actual shipper, consignee, and Carrier. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s name may appear in the “Bill to” or “Special Instructions” section. Upon acceptance of a shipment, Carrier shall assume liability for the Freight until proper delivery is made to the designated consignee. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall obtain a delivery receipt signed by the consignee at the time of delivery, showing the kind, quantity, and condition of the Freight. Absence or loss of any such documents will not relieve the Carrier of responsibility for Freight. If a bill of lading is issued for any shipment, its purpose will be only to evidence the receipt of the Freight. Any terms of the bill of lading (including but not limited to payment and credit terms, released rates or released value) inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement shall be ineffective.
Carrier Responsibilities. A. Subject to its representations and warranties in Paragraph 1 above, Carrier agrees to provide the necessary equipment and qualified personnel for completion of the transportation services required for Broker or its customers.

Carrier agrees that food that has been transported or offered for transport under conditions that are not in compliance with Shipper’s or Broker’s instructions, as provided to Carrier by Shipper or Broker, will be conclusively determined to be “adulterated” within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342 (i). Carrier understands and agrees that adulterated shipments may be refused by the consignee or receiver, at destination without diminishing or affecting Carrier’s liability in the event of a cargo claim. Carrier shall not sell, salvage or attempt to sell or salvage any goods without the BROKER’s express written permission; and
(ii) Carrier’s liability for any cargo damage, loss, or theft from any cause shall be determined under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Amendment, 49 U.S.C. §14706 if applicable; however, liability for exempt commodities and processing cargo loss and damage claims shall be determined by: DRC Trading Practices, or Blue Book Transportation Guidelines, or NAPTWG Best Practices by agreement of the Parties and if no agreement then by one of the above associations’ guidelines named above at the selection of the Broker; and
