Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern the relationship between Freedom Carrier Service and clients who use our trucking compliance services. By engaging our services, you agree to these terms.
1. Services Provided
Freedom Carrier Service ("Company," "we," "us") provides administrative and compliance filing services for the trucking industry, including but not limited to:
- LLC formation assistance (Florida)
- USDOT number registration and MC authority filing
- BOC-3 process agent coordination
- UCR (Unified Carrier Registration) filing
- IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) registration and quarterly filing
- IRP (International Registration Plan) apportioned plate registration
- DOT drug and alcohol testing program enrollment
- Transit permit procurement
- Tax filing assistance for trucking businesses
We act as an administrative service provider. We are not attorneys, CPAs, or financial advisors. Nothing we provide constitutes legal, tax, or financial advice.
2. Client Responsibilities
By engaging our services, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and current information required for all filings
- Notify us promptly of any changes to your business information, fleet, or operating status
- Pay all government fees and our service fees as quoted and agreed upon in writing
- Maintain all required insurance, permits, and registrations in active status
- Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations governing your trucking operation
We are not responsible for delays, rejections, or penalties resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the client.
3. Fees and Payment
Our service fees are quoted in writing before any work begins. Quotes include:
- Our service fee (our compensation for the work performed)
- Government pass-through fees (what we pay on your behalf to government agencies)
Government fees are charged at cost with no markup. All fees must be paid before we submit filings on your behalf, unless otherwise agreed in writing. We do not offer refunds on service fees once work has begun, as our fees compensate for time and expertise already expended.
Government fees that have been submitted to a government agency are non-refundable regardless of outcome, as they are controlled by those agencies.
4. Timelines and Processing
We process filings promptly after receiving complete client information and payment. However, processing times for government agencies are outside our control. Estimated timelines (such as the 21-business-day FMCSA protest period for MC authority) are estimates based on typical experience — actual timelines may vary.
We are not responsible for delays caused by government processing backlogs, incomplete information, or actions of third parties.
5. Limitation of Liability
Freedom Carrier Service's liability to any client for any cause whatsoever shall be limited to the service fees paid by that client for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for:
- Lost profits, lost revenue, or business interruption
- Fines, penalties, or enforcement actions by government agencies
- Delays caused by government processing
- Errors resulting from inaccurate information provided by the client
- Third-party actions or omissions (insurance providers, process agents, etc.)
6. No Legal, Tax, or Financial Advice
Freedom Carrier Service is a compliance filing and administrative services company. Our staff members are not licensed attorneys, CPAs, or registered financial advisors. Information provided on our website and by our staff is for general informational purposes only.
For legal advice regarding your trucking operation, consult a licensed attorney. For tax advice, consult a licensed CPA or enrolled agent. We recommend seeking professional advice before making significant business decisions.
7. Confidentiality
We treat all client information as confidential and do not share it with third parties except as necessary to provide our services (such as submitting filings to government agencies) or as required by law. See our Privacy Policy for more detail.
8. Termination of Services
Either party may terminate the service relationship at any time with written notice. Upon termination, you remain responsible for fees for services already performed. We will provide you with all documents and credentials in our possession related to your account within a reasonable time.
9. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Miami-Dade County, Florida.
10. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms and Conditions at any time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when changes were made. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
