QUESTIONTransportation Agreement • August 19th, 2004
Contract Type FiledAugust 19th, 2004In February 1997, Carrier, a trucking company, and Maker, a manufacturer, negotiated an agreement under which Carrier promised to provide for two years all the transportation services required by Maker in exchange for monthly payments based on the number of packages transported. In response to Carrier’s concerns over proposed legislation that would restrict its ability to use more efficient “triple-trailer” trucks, the parties agreed that Carrier could terminate the contract if such legislation were enacted. No such law was ever passed.
