CONSIDERATION

The CARRIER agrees to pay DISPATCH as per the agreed terms, as stated in the Carrier Obligations Section of this AGREEMENT for each completed load. After 30 days the account may be placed into collection. A load is considered 'completed' once a Bill of Lading (BOL) is signed by the receiver.

Payment is made to DISPATCH via an agreed upon percent reduction in final pay using CARRIER'S invoice factoring service of choice or charged to CARRIER's credit card kept on file.

In the event that the broker does not pay DISPATCH, CARRIER agrees to promptly reimburse DISPATCH an amount equal to any amounts unpaid by the BROKER.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

DISPATCH will work within the established parameters of the Carrier Profile section of this Dispatch Agency Agreement. In the event that DISPATCH books a load matching the CARRIER'S truck posting, the CARRIER agrees to pay DISPATCH as agreed to in the Carrier Obligations section of the AGREEMENT.

NOTE: To avoid charges for unavailable equipment, it is very important to notify DISPATCH immediately if the truck is loaded from another source.
