The Independent Contractor Agreement outlines the terms between an owner/operator truck driver (Contractor) and a common carrier company (Carrier) in Oakland, specifically targeting those engaged in owner operator lease programs. Key features include the referral of shipments to the Contractor, liability insurance requirements, invoicing processes, and documentation obligations. The agreement specifies that the Contractor must maintain appropriate insurance coverage and promptly inform the Carrier of any transportation issues. It also clarifies that the Contractor operates independently and provides a structure for payment and commissions for solicitation violations. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and paralegals who need to ensure compliance with legal standards while protecting their clients' interests in transportation agreements. Additionally, it assists owners and associates in understanding their liabilities and the importance of maintaining necessary documentation to facilitate smooth operations and protect against potential disputes.
