owner of the vehicle, or has been duly authorized by the

affiliates, who shall be referred to as the "carrier".
Shipper agrees to allow All-States Auto Transport to act
as its agent in dealing with carriers, and to exercise its
efforts on Shipper's behalf in placing the order with the
appropriate carrier. Said carrier will route vehicle(s)
from origin to destination by a suitable route and does
not agree to any specific routing. Carrier is authorized
by the Shipper to operate and transport Shipper's
vehicle(s) between its pick up location and the
destination specified on this shipping order.
Shipper will designate person(s) at pick up and delivery
points listed on the Customer Transport Order as the
appointed agents for the purpose of delivering to or
accepting from All-States Auto Transport the owner's
vehicle(s).
In the event that there are any problems regarding
delivery, all outstanding freight charges must be paid.

any damage claimed, and to pay the balance of the delivery
charges in cash or certified funds. Shipper warrants that
they will pay all tariffs due to All-States Auto Transport
for delivered vehicle(s) and will not seek to charge back
credit card or to stop check payment to offset any dispute
for damage claims. Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC)
regulations require that all tariffs be paid in full
before a claim can be processed. An administration fee of
$150.00 per vehicle will be assessed if Shipper cancels
the order.

fee.)

arrange to have your vehicle(s) picked up within a few
days of the scheduled pick up date. As is standard in the
Motor Freight industry, although we can provide an
estimated delivery date, the carrier cannot guarantee a
delivery date. Shipper understands that carrier is subject
to delays beyond its control, due to weather, road
conditions, mechanical breakdowns or repairs to equipment,
supply and demand of trucks and drivers, etc. Neither
carrier nor All-States Auto Transport is responsible for
reimbursement for car rentals.
If your vehicle is inoperable, oversized or customized
(longer than 16 feet, dual wheels, pick up or van, racks,
etc.), please inquire about extra charges. If carrier is
not advised of inoperable, oversized or customized
vehicles prior to pick up, extra charges will be added
to COD charges at the time of delivery. An additional fee
of up to $200 will be added for inoperable vehicles, and
up to $300 will be added for oversized vehicles.
If Shipper is not available for delivery after
notification of arrival, vehicle(s) will be delivered to a
Terminal at driver's discretion, and there will be an
additional charge for storage and delivery. All COD and
additional charges must be paid before release of
vehicle(s).

be the sole responsibility of the Shipper. A fee of up to
$400 may be imposed for excess weight of household or
personal goods or items, at the discretion of the
carrier.

and all damage claims arising from the transport. Shipper
agrees to file all claims with carrier identified on the
