Such Customers may use the Trux Platform to: (i) create Shipment Assignments; (ii) monitor, manage and review Shipment Assignment(s); and (iii) assign and manage Private Carriage Shipment(s).

1. TRUX’S LIMITED OBLIGATIONS.

1.1 Customer expressly acknowledges that, for purposes of the Services described under this Schedule, Trux shall have no responsibility whatsoever to Customer beyond the provision of the Trux Platform to schedule and manage Company Owned Vehicles and/or Company Contracted Vehicles.

Assignments of Private Carriage Shipments under this Schedule involve the use of Company Owned Vehicles and Company Contracted Vehicles.

Schedule B:

TRUX PLATFORM - FIND

This schedule B (“Schedule”) sets forth the additional terms and conditions under which a User in the Role of “Customer,” (and as applicable Customer’s Authorized Account Users) (“You” or “Customer”) may use the Trux Platform to post and manage Shipment Assignments on the Trux Platform through Trux Marketplace.

1. CUSTOMER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

1.1 LEGAL EXISTENCE

Customer represents and warrants that it is either (i) a sole proprietor or (ii) a legally formed business entity that is utilizing the Service to connect with Drivers, Operators or Brokers for the purpose of arranging the lawful transportation of materials.

Customer represents and warrants that it will use reasonable commercial efforts to post Shipment Assignments that are accurate and complete such that they provide to potential Operators and Brokers all the information necessary to determine whether there is a reasonably good match to each Shipment Assignment. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer expressly represents that each Shipment Assignment You post shall include complete pickup and delivery location information, delivery instructions, required or desired vehicle type, cargo information, and the offered Rate.

Customer expressly agrees that its offers of Shipment Assignments and the terms of engagement with Operators who agree to undertake said Shipment Assignments, will occur pursuant to the “Rules of Engagement” that appear in Section 4, below. Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees to abide by the Rules of Engagement.

If Customer seeks to post Shipment Assignments pursuant to this Schedule, but is also an Operator, then such Operator is, for purposes of this Schedule and its posting of Shipment Assignments, also a “Broker-Operator.” As a Broker-Operator, You represents and warrants that You are duly and legally qualified in accordance with Applicable Law to broker Shipment Assignments to other Operators. 

2. TRUX’S LIMITED OBLIGATIONS; LEGAL COMPLIANCE DISCLOSURES

2.1 TRUX IS A LIMITED BROKER AND NOT A CARRIER.

For purposes of activities occurring pursuant to this Schedule, Trux is acting: (i) solely as a broker of transportation vehicles and logistical services for Customers posting Shipment Assignments; and (ii) as a provider of a technology platform that allows Customer to post and manage its own Shipment Assignment(s). Customers using the Trux Platform to post and manage Shipment Assignments expressly acknowledge and agree that Trux itself is not a carrier and is NOT responsible for providing shipping services, and that the actual transportation of Shipment Assignment(s) shall be performed by third parties who shall be solely responsible and liable for the carriage of those Shipment Assignments.

The Customer hereby appoints Trux as its agent solely for the purpose of disbursing payments to Operators on its behalf. Such disbursements shall be based on the Rate set out in the Shipment Assignment and may also include any other mutually agreed payments between Customer and Operator.

If required by Applicable Law, Trux shall comply with all insurance and bonding requirements imposed upon it, including, if applicable, its obligation to maintain a surety bond to benefit the Customer. All other obligations to procure and maintain insurance shall be borne solely by the Customer or the Operator (as applicable), unless otherwise specified in Section 9 of this Schedule.

The general terms and conditions applicable to Operators with whom Customer may contract in connection with Shipment Assignments, including Operators’ representations and warranties, are set out in Schedule C. In addition, Customer (and/or its representatives available at the point of pick up or delivery) shall have the right to request from any Operator that has accepted a Shipment Assignment any commercially reasonable proof of legal compliance, identity, authority, license, insurance, and corporate existence as Customer deems necessary or desirable. Customer may also request that Operators complete site-specific safety training, provided that the Customer has appropriately notated this in its Shipment Assignment as a requirement.

4. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT APPLICABLE TO CUSTOMERS 

4.1 THE OFFER PROCESS

Customer’s posting of a Shipment Assignment constitutes Customer’s express offer of a Shipment Assignment to qualified Operators on the Trux Marketplace. The Service shall facilitate the presentation of Customer’s offer of a Shipment Assignment to qualified Operators pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Schedule. Customer may withdraw its offer of a Shipment Assignment per the terms of Section 4.3, below.

The act of acceptance of an offer to undertake a Shipment Assignment is done by the Operator pressing the ‘ACCEPT’ button or otherwise indicating acceptance as directed on the page or application through which the Operator is reviewing the proposed Shipment Assignment. Once an Operator accepts a Shipment Assignment, the Customer and the Operator are deemed to have entered a binding digital contract to fulfill the Shipment Assignment based on the Shipment Assignment information provided and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Schedule B (as applied to the Customer) and Schedule C (as applied to the Operator).

You may reasonably cancel an accepted Shipment Assignment prior to the commencement of the Shipment Assignment or end a Shipment Assignment during the fulfillment of such Shipment Assignment. Unreasonable or repeated cancellations of accepted Shipment Assignments, particularly once a fulfillment begins, may result in reconsideration of Customer’s continued use of the Trux Platform, and possible claims of damages.

Customer shall be entitled to cancel an accepted Shipment Assignment if Operator fails to provide documentation of Operator’s credentials as reasonably requested by Customer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless cancellation is the result of severe weather or a force majeure event, and the Customer is unable to provide alternative Shipment Assignments, Customer’s cancellation of an accepted Shipment Assignment within two (2) hours before the scheduled start time (as specified in the Shipment Assignment) will result in a cancellation fee equal to four (4) times the hourly rate of the requested truck type.

Customer is responsible for setting the Rate, which is the amount per unit that the Customer will pay for the transporting of materials. A ‘unit’ may be measured as, but not limited to: (i) per load; (ii) per shift; (iii) per ton; or (iv) per hour. The amount payable for the hauling of materials shall be calculated by the Service, which will result in a billable amount to the Customer.

If Customer believes that an adjustment to a previously agreed Rate is warranted, then the Customer may initiate such additional amounts or an adjustment in Rate by using the dispute function on the Trux Platform. Customer shall have forty-eight (48) hours after the completion of each Shipment Assignment to register a dispute with the Operator (the “Dispute Period”) unless otherwise agreed to by Trux. Alternatively, Customer may contact Trux support at support@truxnow.com within the Dispute Period and filing an electronic written request for assistance in resolving the dispute.

It is Customer’s responsibility to review the progress of Shipment Assignments on the Trux Platform and identify any issues regarding Shipment Assignments (delays, failures to perform, etc.) within the Dispute Period. Disputed Shipment Assignments that are timely filed by Customers will be withheld from the invoice cycle pending further resolution. Except for those good faith disputes identified by Customer or Operator during the Dispute Period, Customer shall pay any undisputed amounts to Trux in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service consists of technology that enables customers similar to Customer to post Shipment Assignments for the purpose of allowing Operators, at their sole discretion, to accept Shipment Assignments that best meet each Operator’s objectives. Customer may adjust the Rate for Shipment Assignments based on the lack of prevailing interest or a high level of declines of any or all of Customer’s Shipment Assignments.

Customer expressly acknowledges that that the information that Customer provides via the Trux Platform about Shipment Assignments will be shared with the Operator. Customer represents and warrants that it has the authority to release all such information, which may include information that is Customer’s client information. Customer further represents and warrants that all of the information that it receives about the Operator will be used solely for the purpose of fulfilling Customer’s relevant Shipment Assignments and that Customer will not use, disclose or sell such information beyond its intended purpose as described in this Schedule.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all Shipment Assignments tendered or delivered using the Trux Platform or Services shall be accepted on a ‘bill of lading’ which shall function as a receipt of the goods only. The terms and conditions of such bill of lading will not apply to the transportation provided pursuant to or as a result of the Services provided under this Agreement. Upon request of Customer, Trux shall instruct Operators and Drivers to obtain a delivery receipt from the recipient of the materials, showing the materials delivered, condition of the shipment, and the date and time of such delivery, unless otherwise directed by the Customer.

Customer has the right to invite an Operator to become a Regular. A “Regular” means an Operator can only see Shipment Assignments from those Customers which an Operator is a Regular to. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operator shall have the sole right to determine whether to accept a Customer’s invitation to become a Regular. An Operator may also in its sole discretion at any time, seek removal from being a Regular with a Customer or all Customers.

Customer expressly agrees and consents to Trux’s use and promotion of Customer’s Shipment Assignment(s) on the Trux Platform.

7. SERVICES, RATES AND PAYMENTS

7.1 SERVICES FEES AND SHIPMENT FEES

For Customer Shipment Assignments posted on the Trux Marketplace using the Service, the Rate that is entered by Customer, and the calculated billable amount to the Customer shall be the amount invoiced to the Customer. Customer acknowledges and understands that the amount invoiced shall consist of both a Service Fee and Shipment Cost. The Service Fee represents payments due to Trux for the provision of its Services and is generally a percentage of the calculated billable amount. Trux shall take a Service Fee from the calculated billable amount with the residual disbursed on Your behalf to the Operator.

Trux shall invoice Customer all billable amounts based on Shipment Assignments completed using the Service. All charges for a given week of work (Sunday to the following Saturday) are due on the third (3^rd) Friday following your use of the Service for that week, and payment will be facilitated by Trux using the preferred payment method designated in your Account. Trux will send you a statement by email, no later than fifth day of the week following the week in which the Services were performed for billable amounts incurred during such week. Trux reserves the right to delay charging your account for up to hundred and twenty (120) days for reasons related to disputes or for compliance with Applicable Law, provided that in such case, Trux provide reasonable evidence that such charges remain due and owing.

Each Customer may be required to complete a credit application form to determine credit worthiness when using the Service. Customer consents to Trux’s use of a third-party credit agency to assess the credit application. Trux shall issue to Customer a credit limit and may adjust that credit limit based on, but not limited to, the timely payments of Trux invoices, Customer’s selected payment method, and the ongoing review of Customer’s credit standing.

Prior to the posting of Shipping Assignment(s), Customer must have an established payment method with Trux on the Trux Platform for Services. Trux accepts credit card payments as well as electronic payment transfers using automatic clearing house (ACH). Trux reserves the right to pass on to Customer any administrative fees for transaction failures and chargebacks, provided that such administrative fees can be reasonably demonstrated as a direct result of Customer not having sufficient clear funds on the day of payment. If Customer is using a credit card as the primary payment method, then Trux further reserves the right to use a credit card pre-authorization to secure funds for the Shipment Assignments prior to the day of payment.

8. GRIEVANCES, DISPUTES, DELAYS IN DELIVERY.

8.1 GRIEVANCES AND DISPUTES WITH OPERATORS

Any disputes between Customer and any Operator shall be between those parties. However, in the event that either Customer or Operator do not appropriately respond to any disputes raised, either party may contact Trux Support at support@truxnow.com and report the issue. Trux shall take reasonable steps to facilitate discussions between the parties.

To the extent that Trux has been notified by the Operator of an accident or other event that inhibits the Operator’s ability to fulfill an accepted Shipment Assignment, Trux shall use commercially reasonable efforts to redirect the message to the Customer.

9. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, LIABILITY, INSURANCE

9.1 ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY

Trux represents, warrants, and agrees that it carries and maintains insurance providing liability coverage, including a commercial general liability policy, for the work performed by Operators and its Drivers on the Trux Marketplace and contracted with the Customer through the Trux Platform. Customer shall have the rights to be named as an additional insured on a certificate of insurance. Customer shall have the right to seek a valid certificate of insurance at any time during the term of the Agreement. Trux reserves the right to alter or remove any or all such insurance policies at any time, without your prior consent or approval and with them with other similar or equivalent insurance policies. Within seven days of receipt of a written or email request from You, Trux will furnish a complete and accurate description of the specific coverage and liability limits of all such insurance policies maintained by Trux, as of the date the request was received. In accordance with prior and future agreements between Trux and any Operator, the Customer warrants, represents, and agrees that such insurance policies maintained by any Operator are primary to any of Trux’s insurance and that Trux’s insurance policies shall be noncontributory until the policies of the Operator are exhausted. Trux warrants, represent, and agrees that after the insurance policies of the Operator are exhausted, such insurance policies maintained by Trux shall apply only up to limits specifically outlined in the policies maintained by Trux, and that such insurance policies maintained by You shall be non-contributory until Trux’s insurance policies are exhausted. For any outstanding claim amounts after the insurance policies of the Operator and Trux’s are exhausted, You waive and release all rights of subrogation of any and all of your insurance providers, including without limitation those of any worker’s compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and property policy providers. 

Customer represents and warrants that it carries and will maintain insurance providing liability coverage sufficient to cover all of its activities relating to the posting and fulfillment of Shipment Assignments on the Trux Platform, including coverage for lost, damaged or delayed cargo, personal injury and death, property damage, and all activities of Drivers and Operators hired through the Services, including without limitation, a commercial general liability policy with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence. It is further understood that Trux’s insurance will be primary, and the insurance provided by Customer and its Affiliates shall be excess and shall not called upon by Trux’s insurers for contributing, deficiency, concurrent, double insurance, or otherwise, and shall provide for a severability of interests of cross-liability clause. Any and all deductible or retention sums specific to Trux’s insurance policies shall be assumed by, for the account of, and at the sole risk of, Trux.
