Document background
The Haulage Agreement is a crucial commercial document used to establish a formal relationship between transport service providers and their customers in Australia. It is particularly relevant when businesses require regular or ongoing transportation services for goods via road transport. The agreement encompasses all essential aspects of the transport arrangement, including service levels, pricing, safety requirements, and regulatory compliance, particularly with the Heavy Vehicle National Law and Chain of Responsibility obligations. This document is vital for protecting both parties' interests while ensuring clear operational parameters and risk allocation. The agreement is designed to comply with Australian federal and state transport regulations, making it suitable for both interstate and intrastate operations. It can be customized for various transport needs, from general freight to specialized cargo, and can accommodate both large-scale operations and smaller transport arrangements.
