Important Definitions
“Autosled” or “we” or “us” or “our” means Autosled, Inc.
“Carrier” is a person or legal entity you identify when you register to access and use the Service for the purpose of providing transportation services. By registering to access and use the Service as a Carrier you warrant and represent that that person or legal entity is a motor carrier as defined by 49 USC §13102(14) with authority issued by the federal and applicable state governments to haul cargo for hire. A Carrier who accesses or uses the Service is an independent contractor and remains solely responsible for screening, selecting, hiring, training, supervising, managing, assigning, and dispatching its drivers. A Carrier is also solely responsible for the inspection and maintenance of its motor vehicle equipment and accessories. A Carrier is solely responsible for its own actions, omissions, training, oversight, compliance with regulatory and safety requirements, and all management of Carrier’s equipment, services, drivers, employees, contractors, agents, and servants. A Carrier maintains sole control over the methods and results by which it performs cargo transportation services and retains the sole duty to provide, maintain, manage and control the equipment, personnel, and expertise required to transport your cargo. Autosled is not an agent of any Carrier, and no Carrier is an agent of Autosled.
“Shipment” means the motor vehicle that a Shipper has agreed to ship and a Carrier has agreed to transport, each as arranged through the Services.
“Shipper” is a person or legal entity you identify when you register to access or use the Service for the purpose of obtaining transportation services. By registering to access and use the Service as a Shipper you warrant and represent that that person or legal entity owns, possesses, or otherwise holds rights to transport cargo you seek to ship by way of the Service and will be identified as the shipper, consignor, or consignee on the applicable bill of lading. A Shipper who accesses or uses the Service is an independent contractor and remains solely responsible for screening, selecting, and hiring the Carrier. Autosled is not an agent of any Shipper, and no Shipper is an agent of Autosled.
“You” or “your” means the individual accessing or using the Services or, if the individual is accessing or using the Services on behalf of an entity, the entity.
How the Service Works
The Service is a digital technology platform that facilitates transportation of vehicles by connecting Shippers and Carriers.
In order to access and use most aspects of the Service, Carriers and Shippers must register and maintain an active Service profile. Each registered Shipper has a profile and posts to the Service details about Shipment(s). A list of available Shipments is accessible at any time through the Service. Each registered Carrier also has a profile and a list of Carriers is available at any time through the Service. Shippers may review Carrier profiles to determine whether a Carrier is acceptable and available for a Shipment. Carriers may also search and find available Shipments as well.
Shipments are made available on a first-come, first-served basis. Shipments may be re-posted to the Service if the Shipper and Carrier fail to come to terms for a particular Shipment. All delivery dates are estimates only. For vehicle shipments that have been flagged for Dealer Exchange, Carriers may select the roundtrip option in order to secure both the outbound and return bound shipments.
Both the Shipper and the Carrier submit Shipment-related documents such as (but not limited to), bills of lading, and delivery receipts. Under no circumstances should Autosled be listed as either shipper or consignee on a Shipment. Carriers are responsible for uploading bill(s) of lading upon acceptance of the cargo via the Autosled BOL tool. Carriers are also responsible for providing and uploading notice(s) or delivery and, if available, proof of delivery, within 24 hours of delivery.
Autosled acknowledges the needs of individuals seeking to utilize our services for single-use and/or personal vehicle shipments without the requirement of accessing the full spectrum of the Autosled digital technology platform. To accommodate these needs, Autosled offers a simplified process accessible through our website, designated specifically for individuals wishing to ship a vehicle. These Shippers are not required to create or maintain a personal account on the Autosled platform.
By electing to use Autosled’s services in this manner, Shippers hereby agree and accept to be bound by the same terms and conditions set forth for registered Shippers within this agreement, to the extent applicable. This includes, but is not limited to, responsibilities regarding the preparation of the vehicle for shipment, adherence to scheduled pickup and delivery dates, and financial obligations such as payment for services rendered and potential fees for cancellations or non-compliance.
Autosled’s Role
Autosled is a broker (as defined in 49 U.S.C. §13102(2)). Autosled’s sole obligation is to provide the platform that connects Carriers and Shippers, allowing them to arrange transportation of Shipments by a Carrier that is appropriate and authorized to operate by all applicable governmental agencies, each as determined by Shipper. Autosled does not provide actual transportation services or act in any way as a Carrier. Autosled does not take possession, custody, or control of any cargo. Autosled does not assume any liability, possessory rights or obligations, and assumes no financial responsibility whatsoever, for cargo, including loss, theft, damage or delayed delivery thereof.
Autosled is not a motor carrier. Neither this nor any other document or agreement shall be construed to imply Autosled is a carrier (as defined in 49 U.S.C. §13102(3)), or that Autosled is subject to the regulatory or legal requirements of a carrier. Autosled has no responsibility or liability for any transportation or carrier services provided to any Shipper or any other party using the Services.
Autosled only facilitates the Services. Autosled cannot and does not guarantee that use of the Service by either Shippers or Carriers will be successful or the Service will meet the needs of all or any Shippers or Carriers. Autosled is not responsible for any Shipment terms and conditions between a Carrier and a Shipper.
Autosled is not responsible for, does not control, and cannot guarantee any information exchanged between Shippers and Carriers. Shippers and Carriers are independent service providers and not employees or agents of Autosled, and no agency, partnership, or joint venture is intended or created by this agreement. You specifically acknowledge and agree that Autosled disclaims any and all liability related to any Shipment and for any loss or damage caused by reliance on information provided by Users. ALL SHIPPERS AND CARRIERS USE THE SERVICES AT THEIR OWN RISK.
Autosled reserves the right, at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any profile, posting, or other content, that Autosled determines, in its sole discretion, is objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms, or is otherwise harmful to the Website.
Carrier Insurance Standards
Autosled Inc. requires all carriers within our network to procure and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage at their own expense from reputable and financially stable underwriters with a minimum rating of B+.
Our carriers are required to hold the following insurance coverages:
- Automobile Liability Insurance: This covers any bodily injury (including death) and property damage, applicable to any automobile whether owned, non-owned, or hired by the carrier. The minimum coverage amount is $1,000,000 per incident.
- Motor Truck Cargo Liability Insurance: Depending on the number of vehicles transported, carriers must maintain coverage of at least $100,000 per incident for a single vehicle and up to $300,000 per incident for transporting more than seven vehicles. This insurance is comprehensive, covering potential risks without exclusions such as employee theft, dishonesty, and damages during loading, unloading, or securement processes, ensuring a wide range of incidents are covered.
- Workers’ Compensation Insurance: Carriers are required to comply with all applicable laws regarding workers’ compensation, providing coverage for their employees in case of work-related injuries.
- Additional Requirements: Carriers may be required to maintain other forms of insurance as dictated by Autosled Inc. or any applicable laws, including those instances where legal or contractual requirements mandate higher coverage limits than those specified above.
Your Obligations
You shall prepare the vehicle(s) for transport by removing or properly securing all batteries, loose parts, fragile or protruding accessories, low hanging spoilers, antennae and other similar items. You shall disarm any vehicle alarm system and provide the Carrier with any tools or keys necessary to disarm the system if activated. If the alarm system is activated during the transport of the vehicle, the Carrier may deactivate the alarm system by any means that it or the transport driver deems reasonable and effective. You release us, the Carrier and transport driver from any claims for damages that are caused by your failure to fulfill these obligations.
You shall remove all detachable personal belongings from the vehicle(s). Vehicles should be empty prior to transport. We or the Carrier may impose additional fees, at either of our sole discretion, for the transport of contents left in a vehicle. In no event, however, will we be responsible for the safe transport of any such contents.
You or your agent, who has been identified in writing to Autosled, shall be present at the point of pickup and delivery.
You shall identify any damage to any vehicle(s) by noting the damage on the Bill of Lading received by you at the time of delivery. Any claims related to such noted damage must be submitted in writing to us within 1 day of delivery, or, in case of failure of delivery, within 1 day of the date that vehicle was scheduled to be delivered. You hereby waive any damage claims that are not noted on the Bill of Lading or for which you have not submitted a timely written claim. We shall not be liable directly, in subrogation, or by assignment to your insurance company for any claims paid by you.
Shipper Obligations Regarding Vehicle Readiness
The Shipper is solely responsible for ensuring that any vehicle scheduled for transportation through the Autosled platform is fully prepared and available for pickup on the earliest availability date specified by the Shipper. This preparation includes, but is not limited to, completing all necessary payments, paperwork, and any other prerequisites required for the legal and physical transfer of the vehicle from its current location to the Carrier. It is incumbent upon the Shipper to diligently verify and confirm that all such conditions are satisfied in alignment with the specified earliest available pickup date.
In instances where an Autosled-contracted Carrier is dispatched to the pickup location on or subsequent to the agreed upon date, yet finds the vehicle unprepared or unavailable for transport due to incomplete payments, paperwork, or any other reason attributable to Shipper oversight or inaction, Autosled reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to levy a “Dry Run” fee against the Shipper. This fee is intended to compensate the Carrier for the time, effort, and fuel expended in the unfruitful pickup attempt.
Shippers failing to ensure vehicle readiness as per the agreed upon earliest availability date thereby acknowledge their financial responsibility for the incurred Dry Run fee. Such fees will be assessed and charged at Autosled’s discretion, in accordance with the terms set forth herein and any applicable service agreements. The imposition of this fee serves as a measure to uphold the integrity of the scheduling process and to mitigate undue losses borne by Carriers due to Shipper non-compliance with these obligations.
Fees; Payment Terms
Through the Service, Carriers provide Shippers with real-time quotes on rates and charges based on the Shipment and associated transportation details provided by the Shipper (together with any additional fees as described in the following paragraph, the “Rates”). The Rates are those quoted by a Carrier to a Shipper for a particular Shipment at the time the Shipper selects the Carrier, and Carrier agrees, to provide transportation services. Prior to such agreement, Rates for a particular Shipment, or in general, may change over time. Our service fee will also be displayed with the Rates (and your confirmation of a Shipment with a Carrier constitutes your agreement to pay our service fee and the Rates (together the “Fees”).
Further, the Carrier may assess additional fees based on the inaccuracy of your Shipment details, such as inaccurate pickup location or incorrect vehicle make or model, and an inoperable fee may also be assessed and added to the Fees if the vehicle(s) ordered for transport is inoperable but does have keys, rolls and is accessible to the Carrier. If the vehicle(s) is deemed inoperable and does not roll (i.e. missing wheels or keys or is inaccessible by the carrier) a higher fee may be assessed as determined by the Carrier and shall cover any other charges incurred to accomplish delivery, including, but not limited to wreckers, forklifts, roll-backs, or flatbeds. If vehicle(s) rendered for shipment becomes inoperable during transit, as a result of conditions beyond the control of the Carrier, then the inoperable fee may be applied to the order. You agree to pay all such additional fees when invoiced.
Invoices for Fees will be generated and delivered to you automatically upon receipt of a Carrier’s notice of delivery for a Shipment. You will pay all Fees immediately upon receipt of an invoice, unless we have agreed in writing (email or through the Services is sufficient) to provide you different payment terms, which we may condition on a credit history check and approval in our sole discretion. We may revoke any different payment terms we have extended to you at any time at our sole discretion.
All Fees are non-cancelable once a Carrier has picked up your Shipment, and once paid, are non-refundable unless we have expressly provided a different refund policy to you in writing.
Autosled may utilize a third-party provider of its choice for invoicing, payment processing, and other financial transactions in connection with the Service, and you authorize us to provide your payment method and corresponding information to our selected third party provider for such purposes. Additional terms may be imposed and modified by our payment processor from time to time, and you agree to comply with all such terms as if set forth in these Terms. You authorize Autosled to obtain all necessary information and perform all necessary activities to facilitate and pay for transportation services provided by a Carrier. You will provide accurate and complete information about yourself, your business, your payment method (e.g., credit card or ACH information) and your Shipments, and you authorize us to store such information and share it with our payment processor for the purposes of facilitating the payment processing services. We reserve the right to switch payment processing vendors at our sole discretion. We cannot control any fees that may be charged by a User’s bank in connection payment transactions processed, and we disclaim all liability in this regard.
Any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable usury law, whichever is less, determined and compounded monthly from the date due until the date paid. You will reimburse any costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and collections costs) incurred by us to collect any amount that is not paid when due. Amounts due from you under this Agreement may not be withheld or offset by you against amounts due to you for any reason. All fees charged by Autosled are exclusive of taxes on your purchases of Services. You are responsible for any taxes on your purchases, except for taxes on our income.
For shippers who are individuals and use the “Autosled Direct” services, payment will be collected up front before the shipment is posted.

Terminating An Account
In addition to Autosled’s other rights and remedies provided for in these Terms, we may, in our sole discretion, cancel any Autosled registration and terminate these Terms and/or your access to the Services at any time, without prior notice, for any reason or no reason (including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms- including by not limited to nonpayment for services rendered), and without obligation or liability to you. If that occurs, (a) you will remain liable for any and all amounts due hereunder, and (b) we have no obligation to delete or return to you any content about or from you and available through the Services, subject to applicable privacy laws as set forth in our Privacy Policy.
Compliance Information
Autosled may utilize a third-party provider, Registry Monitoring Insurance Services, Inc. (“RMIS”) or other sources, to obtain insurance, licensing, and other information about Carriers. RMIS or other sources may obtain some information about Carriers from third-party information providers. NEITHER AUTOSLED NOR RMIS or other sources MAKE ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER AS TO SUCH THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS THEREOF.

Non-Circumvention
During the term of this Agreement, and for one (1) year after its expiration or termination, other than pursuant to your use of the Services, you shall neither initiate nor accept any direct or indirect commercial shipping relationship with any Carrier for a Shipment where you first learned of the Shipment pursuant to the Service, or in connection with use of the Service. Your obligation in this regard extends to instances where a Carrier contacts you and seeks to establish a commercial shipping relationship with respect to a particular Shipment that does not include Autosled. If you violate this section, you shall be jointly and severally liable with the Carrier to Autosled for each such violation in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of all revenues paid to the Carrier by you. The parties intend that such liability constitutes compensation, and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that our harm caused by a breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the Effective Date, and that such amount is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a breach of this section.
