By accessing the Site, submitting an inquiry, executing a Dispatch Agreement, or otherwise engaging the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you have read and understood these Terms; (ii) you have the legal capacity and authority to enter into these Terms and to bind the motor carrier, owner-operator, fleet owner, or other entity on whose behalf you act; and (iii) you agree to be bound by these Terms and by any additional terms incorporated herein by reference, including the Company’s Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not access the Site, submit information to the Company, or use the Services. Continued use of the Site or Services following the effective date of any amendment constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms.
The Site & Its Owner
For the purposes of these Terms, the term “Site” includes, without limitation, meridiandispatchers.com and any subdomains, the Company’s online forms and account portals, the Company’s mobile-optimized interfaces, and other online offerings operated by or on behalf of the Company that exclusively link to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
The Site is maintained, owned, operated, licensed, and controlled by or on behalf of the Company from the United States of America. The use of the term “Company Parties” within these Terms means the Company together with its parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, sister companies, and each of their respective shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, contractors, and authorized representatives.
From time to time the Company may engage third-party service providers to administer functions on its behalf via their own websites or platforms (including, without limitation, load-board operators, payment processors, factoring intermediaries, and onboarding-document repositories). Although the Company can access certain functions and information collected via those third-party platforms for purposes such as carrier onboarding, document verification, and load sourcing, each such platform is subject to the applicable third party’s own terms and privacy notice unless these Terms and the Privacy Policy are exclusively linked thereon.

Description of Services
The Company offers freight dispatch services designed to connect qualified motor carriers and owner-operators with compensated Loads. The Services may include, without limitation:
- Sourcing and vetting Loads from load boards, direct shipper relationships, and broker networks;
- Negotiating Load rates, detention, and accessorial charges on the Client’s behalf;
- Preparing and processing rate confirmations, bills of lading, proofs of delivery, and related administrative documentation;
- Facilitating broker and shipper setups, including credit review and carrier-packet submission;
- Providing operational support, including check-calls, appointment coordination, and breakdown assistance.
The Company acts solely as the Client’s agent for the limited purpose of sourcing and arranging Loads. The Company is not a motor carrier, property broker, freight forwarder, shipper, or consignee, and does not take title to, physical possession of, or legal responsibility for any cargo. The Client remains at all times the responsible motor carrier for each Load transported.

Upon reasonable request, the Client shall name the Company as a certificate holder for notice purposes only.
Right of Refusal
The Company reserves the right, in its sole and reasonable discretion, to decline to onboard any prospective Client, to terminate an engagement, or to refuse to source Loads for a Client whose documentation is incomplete, whose safety or CSA scores are, in the Company’s judgment, unacceptable, or whose conduct is otherwise inconsistent with these Terms.
Engagement & Authority
Upon execution of a Dispatch Agreement, the Client appoints the Company as its limited, non-exclusive agent for the purpose of sourcing, negotiating, and arranging Loads on the Client’s behalf. This appointment:
- Is limited in scope to the activities expressly authorized in these Terms and in the Dispatch Agreement;
- Does not constitute a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, or agency for any purpose outside the scope of the Services;
- May be revoked by the Client at any time in accordance with Section 11 (Term & Termination).
The Client retains full and exclusive authority over all operational, safety, and transport decisions, including, without limitation, route selection, hours-of-service compliance, Load acceptance, and driver assignment. The Company shall not be deemed to have operational control of any Load, vehicle, or driver. No Load shall be booked without the Client’s prior approval.

Fees & Payment
Fee Structure
The Company’s fees are calculated as a percentage of the Gross Load Revenue (as defined in Section 3) of each Load dispatched, as set out in the applicable Dispatch Agreement. The Dispatch Agreement is the canonical record of the commercial terms applicable to a particular Client; in the event of any conflict between this Section 10 and the Dispatch Agreement, the Dispatch Agreement shall prevail. The Company’s standard fee schedule is:
| Plan | Fee | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-Operator | 5% of Gross Load Revenue | Single-truck carriers |
| Small Fleet | 4% of Gross Load Revenue | Fleets of 2 to 5 trucks |
| Enterprise Fleet | Custom, as agreed | Fleets of 6 or more trucks |
No onboarding fee, setup fee, or monthly minimum is charged for the standard plans listed above. Fees are charged solely per Load dispatched. The Company does not collect a fee on Loads the Client declines.
Invoicing & Payment Terms
Unless otherwise agreed in the Dispatch Agreement, the Company shall issue invoices weekly on Friday for Loads delivered during the preceding seven (7) days. Each invoice shall be payable on the earlier of (i) seven (7) calendar days following the invoice date, or (ii) the Client’s receipt of payment from the Broker, factoring company, or shipper for the underlying Load. Payment shall be made by ACH transfer, wire, or such other method as the Company may designate from time to time.
Payments Made Through the Site
By submitting any payment on or through the Site, you authorize the Company and its designated payment processor to charge or debit your designated payment method, and to verify your bank account information using bank information and consumer reports as applicable. You represent and warrant that (i) you have the legal right to use the payment method utilized; (ii) all payment information you provide is accurate, current, and complete; and (iii) the payment transactions you authorize comply with all applicable laws.
Late Payment
Amounts not paid when due shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower, calculated from the due date until paid in full. The Company may suspend the Services and withhold further dispatch activity upon any failure to pay undisputed amounts when due.
Disputed Amounts
The Client shall notify the Company in writing of any good-faith dispute regarding a fee within ten (10) business days of the invoice date. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute promptly. Undisputed portions of an invoice shall be paid in accordance with Section 10.2.
Term & Termination

These Terms commence on the effective date of the Dispatch Agreement and continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated in accordance with this Section 11.
Termination for Convenience
Either party may terminate the engagement for any reason, or no reason, by providing not less than seven (7) calendar days’ prior written notice to the other party. Loads accepted prior to the effective date of termination shall be performed in accordance with their original terms and remain subject to the fee obligations of Section 10.
Termination for Cause
Either party may terminate the engagement immediately, with written notice, upon (i) a material breach of these Terms by the other party that remains uncured for ten (10) business days following written notice thereof; (ii) the other party’s insolvency, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, or assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) a suspension or revocation of the Client’s Operating Authority or required insurance.

Binding Arbitration
Any dispute not resolved under Section 18.1 shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect.

Subject to Section 18 (Arbitration), the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Henrico County, Virginia, and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Richmond Division), for any action not subject to arbitration. Each party waives any objection to such jurisdiction and venue on grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, forum non conveniens, or otherwise.
Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance (other than the payment of money) caused by events beyond its reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades, national or regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages, passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority (including any complete or partial government shutdown), epidemic or pandemic, severe weather, infrastructure failure, or disruption of third-party telecommunications, internet, or transportation services. The affected party shall notify the other party of the Force Majeure Event promptly and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance.
