The Independent Contractor Agreement is designed for owner operators needed in San Diego to formalize the relationship between a truck driver (Contractor) and a common carrier company (Carrier). This agreement outlines the responsibilities of both parties regarding the transportation of goods, including insurance requirements, invoicing procedures, and liability terms. The Contract requires the Contractor to maintain specific insurance coverage and provide essential documentation within set timeframes. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in transportation logistics, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and minimizing legal risks. Key features include clear guidelines on cargo claims, payment schedules, and the autonomous nature of the Contractor's role. It also prevents solicitation of Carrier's customers by the Contractor and specifies the legal framework governing the agreement. By utilizing this form, the target audience can facilitate smooth operations while protecting their interests in the trucking industry.
