The Motor Carrier Agreement serves as the foundational document governing the relationship between transportation providers and entities requiring freight services in the United States. This contract type is essential for businesses engaging in interstate commerce and must comply with federal regulations, including FMCSA requirements, DOT standards, and state-specific transportation laws. The agreement typically covers operational procedures, safety requirements, insurance obligations, liability allocation, and payment terms, while ensuring compliance with the Truth in Leasing regulations and Carmack Amendment provisions.
