1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, submitting inquiries through, or otherwise using the website located at archlogisticsllc.com (the “Website”), you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy.

If you access or use this Website on behalf of a corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, motor carrier, shipper, or other commercial entity, you represent and warrant that you possess full legal authority to bind such entity to these Terms. If you do not possess such authority, or if you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately terminate your use of this Website.

2. Website Purpose & Permitted Use

Arch Logistics LLC (“Arch Logistics,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this Website primarily as an informational resource and initial point of contact for commercial freight planning, service inquiries, and business communication.

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and limited license to access and use the Website strictly in accordance with these Terms for legitimate business evaluation and commercial logistics planning. Any personal, non-commercial use or unauthorized commercial exploitation outside the scope of evaluating or engaging Arch Logistics services is strictly prohibited.

3. Freight Inquiries, Rate Estimates & Quote Requests

The Website provides online quote request forms and shipment inquiry portals, and contact links (e.g., Full Truckload, Less-Than-Truckload, Expedited, Refrigerated, Flatbed, and Intermodal Drayage).

• Estimates Are Non-Binding: Any rate indications, transit estimates, equipment options, or preliminary figures displayed on or generated through the Website represent exploratory estimates only. They are calculated based solely on user-provided inputs and prevailing lane conditions at the time of inquiry.
• Market & Fuel Fluctuations: Freight transportation rates are subject to continual market adjustments, fuel surcharges, seasonal capacity constraints, driver availability, and equipment repositioning fees.
• Written Validation Required: A rate estimate becomes an enforceable commercial quote only when formally validated, finalized, and confirmed in writing by an authorized Arch Logistics representative.

4. No Automatic Booking or Transportation Contract

Arch Logistics does not execute automated or instantaneous freight bookings via digital website form submissions. A legally binding commitment to transport or coordinate freight exists only upon the formal execution and written acceptance of dedicated operational agreements by authorized personnel, including:

• A mutually executed Shipper-Broker Agreement, Master Transportation Agreement, or Broker-Carrier Agreement;
• A signed or electronically validated Rate Confirmation / Load Tender specifically detailing pickup dates, delivery appointments, rate structures, equipment type, and special commodity instructions; and
• An authorized Bill of Lading (BOL) issued at the physical origin dock upon freight tender.

5. Accuracy of Submitted Shipment & Facility Information

When utilizing our digital quote forms or communication channels, you warrant that all information you provide—including total shipment weight, pallet and piece counts, commodity descriptions, NMFC freight classifications, hazardous materials status, temperature requirements, facility loading capabilities (e.g., dock height vs. liftgate requirement), and contact identities—is true, accurate, and complete.

You acknowledge that freight pricing, equipment selection, and safety compliance depend directly upon the fidelity of submitted shipment details. Discrepancies discovered upon physical pickup (such as re-weigh adjustments, undisclosed accessorial requirements, detention delays, or re-classification) will result in revised freight charges, accessorial billing, or cancellation of transport at the shipper's expense.

6. Relationship to Separate Transportation Contracts

These Terms of Use govern the digital interface and informational use of the Website only. In the event of any direct conflict or inconsistency between these Terms of Use and the provisions of a separately executed written transportation contract (including a Rate Confirmation, Shipper Contract, Carrier Agreement, or Bill of Lading), the provisions of that separate written transportation agreement shall govern and control regarding the physical transportation of cargo.

Nothing contained on this Website shall be construed to alter, waive, or supersede the statutory liability rules, Carmack Amendment provisions, or agreed contractual damage limitations set forth in signed commercial transportation documents.

7. Third-Party Motor Carriers & Independent Providers

Arch Logistics LLC provides logistics planning and coordination and does not operate its own truck fleet. Physical transportation is performed by independent motor carriers. The scope of any carrier or specialist-provider arrangement is confirmed for the specific shipment in the applicable agreements.

Independent motor carriers maintain their own Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) operating authorities, USDOT registrations, safety records, driver qualification files, and commercial cargo insurance policies. Nothing on this Website creates or implies an employer-employee, partnership, or joint-venture relationship between Arch Logistics LLC and any third-party transportation provider.
