The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) unveils its latest Broker-Carrier model contract, addressing the logistics industry's evolving legal and insurance challenges.
The following is a press release directly from TIA's media team.
Alexandria, VA (October 11, 2023) – The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) is pleased to announce the release of their updated Broker-Carrier model contract, a key resource in our exclusive collection of contracts designed specifically for TIA members.
The updated model contract has been carefully drafted and is the result of an initiative launched by the TIA Contracts Committee earlier this year.
