Document background
The Hauling Contract Agreement is a critical legal document used in Canadian business operations to establish a formal relationship between a transportation service provider (carrier) and a company requiring cargo transportation services (shipper). This agreement is essential when regular or substantial hauling services are needed, typically for ongoing business operations or specific projects. The document addresses key aspects including service scope, operational requirements, safety standards, risk allocation, and payment terms, while ensuring compliance with Canadian federal and provincial transportation regulations, labor laws, and safety standards. It's particularly important for businesses requiring reliable, compliant, and well-documented transportation services, and helps protect both parties by clearly defining their rights, obligations, and remedies under Canadian law.
