GRR FORWARD FREIGHT, CORP.

GRR Forward Freight Corp. ("GRR") is a transportation broker engaged in arranging the movement of Customer's ("Customer") freight via independent third-party trucking companies ("assigned motor carrier"). These Terms and Conditions govern all shipments tendered to GRR for brokerage services, unless superseded by a separate, written agreement signed by both parties.

 

By requesting a quote or tendering freight to GRR, Customer agrees to be bound by the following terms:

​

1. Broker Status

GRR operates as a federally licensed property broker (USDOT #3904945, MC #1439717, EIN #88-2445846) and is not a motor carrier. While GRR has an affiliated but inactive carrier entity under the name "GRR Transport," all services rendered under these Terms and Conditions are performed in GRR’s capacity as a broker. Any appearance of GRR’s name on a bill of lading as the carrier is for Customer convenience only and does not change GRR’s status as a broker.

 

2. LTL / Volume / Partial Shipments

• Rates are based on shipment details provided by Customer and are subject to change if information is found inaccurate.

• Customer is responsible for charges reflected on GRR's invoice.

• Liability coverage is limited to the assigned motor carrier’s tariff and general rules. If a higher cargo value is required, Customer must notify GRR in advance.

• LTL transit times are estimates and not guaranteed unless expressly agreed to in writing.

• GRR is not liable for delays caused by force majeure events.

 

3. Truckload Shipments

• Spot quotes are only valid on the day they are issued unless otherwise stated.

• Customer is responsible for accessorials (e.g., detention, layover, TONU, etc.) and any additional service-based charges.

• Liability for cargo claims is the lesser of the invoice value or $100,000 unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to tender.

• Declaring a value on a BOL does not increase liability unless GRR agrees in writing.

 

4. Insurance Coverage

• Coverage only applies within the continental U.S., Alaska, and Canada. Shipments outside these areas (e.g., Mexico) travel at Customer’s risk.

• GRR does not accept hazardous or restricted materials unless agreed to in writing.

• GRR and assigned carriers are not liable for losses due to loading, securement, inherent cargo defects, or shipper error.

• The assigned motor carrier is primarily responsible for cargo loss or damage under the Carmack Amendment (49 U.S.C. §14706).

• Claims must be filed within 9 months of the incident; legal action within 2 years of denial.

 

5. Excluded Commodities

GRR does not broker the following commodities:

• Tobacco products

• Drugs or pharmaceuticals

• Currency, documents, or financial instruments

• Precious metals, stones, or jewelry

• Fine art or antiques

• Alcohol (except beer/wine)

• Live animals or seafood (except canned/frozen)

• Waterborne cargo or warehoused goods

• Contraband or illegal goods

• Motor vehicles with fuel tanks

 

If such goods are tendered, GRR assumes no liability for loss, damage, or delay.

 

6. Warehouse Services

GRR offers warehousing, storage, and order-picking services under a separate written agreement. These Terms and Conditions apply solely to brokerage services unless explicitly extended in writing.

 

7. Indemnification

Customer shall indemnify and hold GRR harmless against claims, liabilities, damages, or costs (including legal fees) not resulting from GRR’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

​

Miscellaneous

• Tracking Numbers: GRR may share tracking information from third-party carriers (e.g., UPS, FedEx) for convenience. GRR does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of these updates.

• Jurisdiction and Legal Venue: Any dispute or claim related to services provided shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in El Paso County, Texas, and both parties submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is deemed unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect.

• Amendments: GRR reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions. The latest version will be posted on our website and govern all future transactions upon posting.

• Non-Circumvention: Customer agrees not to contract directly with any motor carrier introduced by GRR for a period of twelve (12) months following the last shipment arranged by GRR, without prior written consent. Breach of this clause may result in liquidated damages.

• Disclaimer of Warranties: GRR MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL GRR BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF SUCH POSSIBILITY.
