Shipper Responsibilities:

The Shipper agrees to compensate Grist Truck Brokers Inc for services performed, based on the rates and charges detailed in any applicable Load Confirmation(s), which amend this Agreement if their terms differ. These documents also govern any additional services rendered. The Carrier may not invoice for extra charges unless explicitly approved in this Agreement or the Load Confirmation(s). Any changes to rates can be discussed verbally but must be confirmed in writing within five business days to be enforceable by both parties.

As a prerequisite for payment, the Carrier must provide proof of delivery alongside its invoices, which must show that the freight was delivered to its intended destination.

Slot Fee (Refundable)

The Carrier is required to submit a security deposit of $395 via direct or instant payment to Grist Truck Brokers Inc. This deposit is refundable after the Carrier completes their first delivery and receives payment for the corresponding load. Upon payment of the $395, the Carrier must obtain a receipt for the deposit from a company representative.

The deposit will also be refundable at the time of contract termination, provided there are no pending obligations or damages caused by the Carrier. The Carrier may terminate this Agreement by giving a written notice at least one week in advance. Detention charges, if applicable, will be the responsibility of the Shipper.

Payment Terms

To receive payment, the Carrier must submit a signed copy of the rate confirmation along with their company invoice to the Shipper.

Two payment options are available:

Quick Pay: 2% fee for same-day deposit.
Standard Pay: No fee for deposit within 24 hours.

Unless either party chooses to cancel, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms. Either party may terminate the Agreement at any time by providing thirty (30) days' written or electronic notice, provided that all outstanding balances have been settled.
