Terms of use

Purpose

These terms govern use of ltlfreightmatch.com. LTL Freight Match publishes reference material on LTL shipping and passes enquiries to licensed brokers and carriers. It moves no freight and holds no brokerage authority. It quotes, books and manages less-than-truckload shipments and tenders them to carriers under its own federal authority.

What the service includes

Collecting shipment details, the call that follows to measure and classify the freight, a written quote, and the booking and management of the shipment once accepted. LTL Freight Match is an independent reference on less-than-truckload shipping for the people who buy it. It moves no freight, holds no brokerage authority and books nothing. It explains what decides a class, which accessorials turn a quote into a different invoice, and how to put competing quotes on the same footing.

What it does not include

• no transportation, pickup, linehaul, delivery, handling or storage of freight;
• no rate, quote, estimate or price commitment, and no bill of lading;
• no guarantee that capacity exists on a lane, that a provider responds, or that one is retained;
• no transit-time commitment and no assumption of cargo liability;
• no handling of claims for loss, damage, delay or overcharge.

Your obligations

You undertake to describe the freight accurately, including weight, dimensions, commodity and access requirements, and to have the authority to share the shipment details you submit. You also undertake not to tender freight that is hazardous, prohibited or restricted without declaring it as such to the carrier.
