1. Acceptance
TrueNorth USA Logistics LLC ("TrueNorth", "we", "us", or "our")
provides its website, portals, freight coordination, warehouse
systems, and logistics solutions subject to the following Terms
and Conditions. By accessing our web properties, requesting
dispatch, booking shipments, or interacting with our tracking
systems, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and
agreed to remain legally bound by these terms.
2. Website Usage
Our website, client portals, and EDI/API data exchanges are
designed to facilitate business-to-business logistical
coordination. You agree to use these portals strictly for
authorized supply chain functions. Any unauthorized attempt to
scrap data, breach dashboard authentication protocols, upload
malicious payloads, or disrupt our hosting servers is strictly
prohibited and subject to civil or criminal prosecution.
3. Transportation Services
TrueNorth coordinates FTL, LTL, expedited, flatbed,
temperature-controlled, heavy-haul, and intermodal transport
across North America. Physical shipments are governed by the
specific bill of lading, load confirmation, rate confirmation
sheet, or logistics contract executed during individual dispatch
setups. All cargo moves subject to applicable carrier regulations,
Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines, and standard cargo
valuation maximums.
4. Freight Brokerage
TrueNorth acts as a licensed property broker under FMCSA
authority. We identify, qualify, and contract third-party motor
carriers to execute physical cargo movements. The shipper
acknowledges that the physical transportation is executed by
independent motor carriers, and TrueNorth does not operate as the
physical motor carrier of record for brokered freight
consignments.
5. Customer Responsibilities
Customers, shippers, and consignors are strictly required to
ensure:
-
Accurate descriptions of freight class, dimensions, total
weight, and temperature control variables.
-
Safe, secure, and compliant packaging of pallets, boxes, or
machinery for interstate transit over public highways.
-
Explicit disclosure and compliance paperwork for hazardous
materials (HazMat) in compliance with PHMSA regulations.
6. Scheduling
TrueNorth attempts to coordinate pick-up and delivery coordinates
in alignment with client-specified schedules. However, transit
schedules, routing estimates, and tracking projections provided on
our platforms represent standard operational estimations and are
not guaranteed arrival deadlines. TrueNorth is not liable for
costs or chargebacks associated with missed delivery slots or
facility appointments.
7. Payments
Unless a dedicated corporate credit limit has been explicitly
authorized by our credit board, all logistics fees and
transportation tariffs must be prepaid before dispatch execution.
Payment must be cleared via secure bank wire, ACH, or
pre-registered corporate card transactions. All payments must be
made in US Dollars.
8. Invoices
Standard billing structures operate under Net 30 conditions for
approved credit clients, calculated from the original invoice
date. Discrepancies, charge disputes, or rating adjustments must
be flagged in writing within 15 calendar days from receipt. Late
invoice settlements accumulate daily finance charges calculated at
1.5% per month.
9. Cancellation
Cancellations for committed freight loads must be transmitted in
writing to your assigned logistics coordinator before asset
dispatch. Cancellations initiated after an independent carrier has
been assigned or dispatched to the origin coordinate may result in
"Truck Ordered Not Used" (TONU) fees, fuel surcharges, or dry-run
fees.
10. Refunds
All transportation service charges represent earned dispatch fees.
Refunds are not issued for completed shipments or delivered
consignments. If an overpayment is made on your billing ledger,
TrueNorth will apply a credit balance to your active account
profile, which can be applied to subsequent transportation lane
bills.
11. Liability
TrueNorth acts as a logistics manager and licensed broker.
TrueNorth is not liable for cargo damage, theft, decay, delay, or
loss occurring during active transport. Standard carrier liability
regulations, Carmack Amendment guidelines, and cargo-specific
insurance exclusions define the maximum limits of recovery.
TrueNorth is not liable for consequential, incidental, special, or
indirect damages under any circumstances.
12. Force Majeure
TrueNorth and its third-party transport partners are not liable
for delayed execution, delivery disruptions, or load loss
resulting from acts of God, extreme winter weather, labor strikes,
civil unrest, quarantine orders, road closures, border
bottlenecks, global pandemics, or governmental intervention.
13. Intellectual Property
All branding assets, website layouts, trademarked logos, routing
optimization code, system databases, graphics, and textual
resources are the exclusive property of TrueNorth USA Logistics
LLC. Copying, republishing, or reverse-engineering our software
structures is strictly prohibited without explicit written
consent.
14. Privacy
We process, store, and share information collected from your
visits in compliance with our standard
Privacy Policy. Our policies describe how we manage and secure commercial data,
driver location metrics, and dashboard interaction records.
15. Termination
TrueNorth preserves the right to suspend or terminate your portal
access, credit lines, or ongoing load dispatch services
immediately and without notice if we detect fraudulent data
submissions, repeated payment default, or compliance violations
under applicable FMCSA regulations.
16. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions and any logistics agreements executed
by TrueNorth shall be governed by and construed under the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law
provisions. Any legal actions must be filed exclusively in the
courts holding jurisdiction in Delaware.
17. Changes
We reserve the right to revise or modify these terms at any time.
When updates are published, we will revise the "Last Updated"
timestamp at the top of this page. Your continued use of our
systems or services constitutes your active acceptance of the
revised terms.
