The Independent Contractor Agreement Between an Owner/Operator Truck Driver and Common Carrier Company in Minnesota is designed to outline the responsibilities and terms of service between two parties engaging in the transport of goods. It specifies that the contractor will use their own equipment to provide transportation services, ensuring that they are properly insured with liability and cargo coverage. Key features include the requirement for invoicing and documentation for payment, the liability for loss or damage during transport, and the need for timely communication about any delays. The agreement also addresses the independent contractor relationship and ensures that the contractor's drivers are qualified.
