“The Dangers of Issuing a Delivery Order
Can You Afford A $23 Million Jury Verdict?
Dangerous Road Ahead.”

Delivery orders beyond the commercial zone are subject to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations. Like freight brokers, CBP brokers are required to exercise reasonable care when selecting a motor carrier and could be held responsible as an “employer” if the motor carrier kills a motorist or loses the cargo.


Each importer who is shipping over-weight containers should consult their lawyers and preferably research these cases:
Carmack Amendment, Carriage of Goods by Sea Act and the Warsaw Convention or any others. You got to be sure if
something happens that some hove will not be responsible for it.

Knowing USA lawyers and law it is tough to be protected from something that is illegal.

We here many statements where you have to do this ship over-weight or you will be priced out of competition and so on.
Please understand we understand your position but also please understand ours that we can not afford to be issuing those
Deliver Orders from our company to the truckers as if something happens we will be drag into the law suites.

Thank you or your support and business but please we are urging you to check above and to do accordingly compiling with the law.
