Fidelis Law Firm works in cooperation with its clients throughout their commercial life in order to prevent legal disputes that many of the companies it advises may experience. Fidelis Law Firm, with its team of expert corporate lawyers, provides consultancy services to producers and transporters as well as brokerage firms. Every purchase and sale or transportation transaction also means a contract. The drafting of contracts is a process that we carry out carefully to ensure that our clients do not lose their rights during the preparation of the contract or after the contract is concluded. In this article, we will share with you general information about the transportation brokerage contract, the duties and responsibilities of the transportation broker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In commercial life, the fact that producers also undertake the task of transporting the goods they produce is an issue that causes both economic and temporal losses. For this reason, manufacturers searched for an affordable way to transport goods quickly. This search led to the establishment of transportation brokerage companies that offer the most suitable transportation options to manufacturers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The first thing to know about transportation broker companies is that these companies do not undertake the transportation business. For example, when the producer company reaches this company, the broker company acts as a kind of intermediary between these two companies and provides the organization since it knows the most suitable carrier companies for the producer. However, this situation has changed in the modern understanding and brokerage firms have become capable of both brokerage and transportation after obtaining the necessary permits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
TRANSPORTATION BROKERAGE AGREEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The first element of a freight forwarding contract is the undertaking of the transportation work for a fee. The content of the word \"carriage\" consists of the organization of the carriage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Since there is no limitation in the TCC in terms of the medium of transportation, the transportation brokerage agreement may be concluded in terms of land, air and sea transportation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another mandatory element for these contracts is that the thing undertaken to be transported is goods. Passenger transportation cannot be the subject of these contracts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n PARTIES TO THE TRANSPORTATION BROKERAGE AGREEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n There are two parties to the contract: the consignor and the forwarder. The term consignor is used for the party who appoints the broker as an agent for the transportation of the goods for a fee, while the term freight forwarder is used for the party who is engaged in the profession of transporting goods for a fee. Since the clauses in the contract will determine the scope of liability and on behalf of which party liability will arise, Fidelis Law Firm's team of expert corporate lawyers carefully examine every contract they encounter and are in constant communication with our clients regarding this issue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n WHO CAN BE A TRANSPORTATION COMMISSIONER?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Real or legal persons who meet the conditions required to do this job can be a transportation broker. First of all, individuals must have a transportation broker authorization certificate and, in certain cases, a carrier authorization certificate. You can always contact Fidelis Law Firm's corporate lawyers for advice on these situations and your commercial activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n TYPES OF TRANSPORTATION COMMISSIONERS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Freight forwarders can be divided into three groups: \"principal freight forwarders\", \"sub-freight forwarders\", and \"subsequent freight forwarders\". Sometimes a freight forwarder may agree with another freight forwarder for the organization of the work agreed with the consignor. In this case, it is the original freight forwarder who contracts with the consignor, while the party that contracts with the broker will be the sub-contracted freight forwarder. A subsequent freight forwarder is a person who contracts with another freight forwarder to perform the transportation work that he\/she is not obliged to perform personally, but the difference here is that the sub-freight forwarder works for the account of the original freight forwarder, while the subsequent freight forwarder works for the account of the consignor. The type of freight forwarder a person is is also important in determining their legal responsibilities. For this reason, Fidelis Law Office's team of corporate lawyers will explain to you which responsibilities you assume legally with the contracts you have made, so that you can better see the way ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRANSPORTATION COMMISSIONER<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Freight forwarders have both legal and contractual obligations. The first legal obligation is to protect the interests of the person to whom the transportation business belongs. While ensuring the transportation of the goods, there will also be obligations such as selecting the means and route of transportation, selecting the persons who will perform the work and making contracts with them for the realization of the work, and providing the necessary information and instructions to these persons. Complying with the price determined by the sender and informing the sender are also among the legal obligations. The first of the contractual obligations, if agreed by the parties, can be counted as insurance, packaging, customs clearance, etc. of the goods. If it is committed, it may also have responsibilities such as receiving the goods, loading and unloading the goods.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As Fidelis Law Firm, we advise all of our clients who are transportation commissioners and who work with us on issues such as how to become a transportation commissioner, which permits and documents they need to obtain in order to do business and how to obtain them, the legal responsibilities of the transportation commissioner, the scope of the contractual responsibility of the transportation commissioners and how this responsibility may affect them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Our team of expert corporate lawyers is always ready to provide our clients with the legal advice they need.
