GarTran Broker Agreement
• No truck will be loaded without a Garick GO#, nor can the same GO# be used for more than one load. Brokers who load the same GO in duplicate do so at their own expense. Please contact your Transportation team Dispatcher if you do not have a Garick GO number.
• If order is for one (1) full truckload, load to max by volume or weight, whichever occurs first. If the order is for a specific amount, load the listed quantity. If the listed quantity can’t be loaded, your dispatcher must call the Procurement Team for instructions. Garick will not be responsible for any truck recorded as overweight. All loads MUST be secured by straps or load locks. Drivers who fail to secure loads will be responsible for all charges related to damage.
• Services: Broker acknowledges and agrees to the following transportation terms:
1. Carrier agrees to safely, promptly and efficiently transport all shipments tendered to it by Garick and GarTran.
2. Carrier is fully qualified and adequately equipped to perform the transportation services contemplated hereby and carrier has and will continue to comply with the regulations of the Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety of the Department of Transportation including drivers’ hours of service and records thereof, driver qualification requirements, physical, and equipment maintenance standards and reports.
3. Carrier certifies they will not re-broker, assign or interline the shipments hereunder, without prior written consent from Garick and GarTran.
4. Carrier must maintain a Satisfactory Safety Rating. Should rating change to Unsatisfactory or Conditional, carrier shall notify Garick and GarTran immediately.
Customer Solicitation: Acceptance by Broker of a load offered by Garick and GarTran will constitute Broker's recognition that the shipper of the load is a customer of Garick and GarTran. Broker agrees not to solicit or accept, directly or indirectly, shipments from Garick and GarTran customers, from anyone other than Garick or GarTran. The solicitation policy remains in effect for a period of twelve months after termination of this agreement. In the event of a breach of this provision, Garick and GarTran will be entitled to a commission of fifty percent of the gross transportation revenue received by Broker from Garick and GarTran customer.
• Insurance Requirements: At all times and at its own expense, Broker will maintain insurance on trucks, trailers, and cargo. Brokers are also required to provide Garick with a valid (non-expired) COI (certificate of insurance). Garick should be specified as the certificate holder. Broker will supply Garick and GarTran with updated COI’s each time insurance is updated. COI’s may be emailed to vendorpackets@garick.com or faxed to 216-475-1579.
• Broker Requirements: Broker is required to provide company name of carrier to receive the load to prevent any conflicts of interest within Garick’s current carriers. Broker must also provide Garick updates once the driver picks up a load and once the driver delivers a load.
• Delivery Appointments: Any carrier not able to pick up and/or deliver a load on the day scheduled must call their Garick Dispatcher IMMEDIATELY.

For loads not delivered/dropped, there is a $200 re-dispatch fee.

The first two hours of loading/wait time incurred by Broker at any loading facility will be at no charge, except for peak hours between 10:00AM and 2:00PM where the loading/wait time incurred at no charge will be four hours. Garick will issue $25.00 for each additional hour incurred by a Broker after the required load/wait time is met. Garick will issue up to $100.00 maximum per day in detention time for any broker.
NOTE: Should carrier either arrive late or change the pick-up date from what was originally agreed upon; no detention will be paid. Your dispatcher must contact the Transport Team after a 1 hour wait. If detention occurs during delivery, customer must notate in and out time and sign.
