Terms of Service
Please read these terms carefully before using our services
Effective: May 2026
1. Services Provided
Quickway Transports LLC ("Quickway," "we," "us," or "our") is a licensed freight broker registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under MC# 1245224. We act solely as a broker to arrange transportation of freight between shippers and licensed motor carriers. Quickway does not own or operate trucks and is not a motor carrier. All transportation is performed by independent, FMCSA-licensed motor carriers selected by Quickway.
2. Quotes and Rates
All freight quotes provided by Quickway are estimates based on information supplied by the shipper at the time of quoting. Final rates may be adjusted if actual load dimensions, weight, or pickup/delivery locations differ materially from the information provided. Quotes are subject to carrier availability and market conditions. Quoted rates do not include detention, layover, re-consignment, or other accessorial charges unless explicitly stated.
3. Shipper Responsibilities
The shipper is responsible for ensuring that all freight information provided — including dimensions, weight, commodity description, and special handling requirements — is accurate and complete. The shipper must ensure the freight is properly prepared and accessible for loading at the agreed pickup time. Inaccurate information that results in additional costs (including permit fees, accessorial charges, or carrier penalties) will be the responsibility of the shipper.
4. Carrier Liability and Cargo Insurance
As a licensed freight broker, Quickway Transports does not assume liability for loss, damage, or delay of freight. Liability for cargo loss or damage rests with the motor carrier as governed by applicable federal law (49 U.S.C. § 14706, the Carmack Amendment). Shippers are strongly encouraged to verify carrier cargo insurance coverage and to obtain additional cargo insurance as appropriate for high-value freight. Quickway requires all carriers in our network to maintain minimum cargo insurance of $100,000.
5. Permits and Compliance
For oversized and overweight shipments, Quickway will coordinate the procurement of required oversize/overweight permits through the appropriate state agencies. Permit costs are passed through to the shipper and are based on actual state fees. Permit processing timelines vary by state and load type and are outside Quickway's control. Quickway is not responsible for delays caused by state permit processing.
6. Cancellation Policy
Shipment cancellations must be made in writing (email is acceptable) no later than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup. Cancellations made after carrier dispatch or within 24 hours of pickup may be subject to a cancellation fee to cover carrier deadhead costs and permit fees already incurred. Quickway will notify the shipper of any applicable cancellation charges at the time of cancellation.
7. Limitation of Liability
Quickway Transports' maximum liability to any shipper for any claim arising out of or related to brokerage services shall not exceed the brokerage fee paid for the specific shipment giving rise to the claim. Quickway shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise.
8. Indemnification
The shipper agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Quickway Transports, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, costs, or expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from: (a) inaccurate or incomplete freight information provided by the shipper; (b) improperly prepared or packaged freight; or (c) the shipper's breach of these Terms.
9. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or Quickway's brokerage services that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall take place in Suffolk County, New York. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties.
10. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, and applicable federal transportation law.
11. Modifications to These Terms
Quickway Transports reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of our services after any modification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
