Dispatch-Service Legal Documents and Compliance Boundaries
Use this page to understand Equitable dispatch-service boundaries and download the documents that support carrier authorization, direct shipper outreach records, onboarding, communication rules, and compliance-first freight operations. These documents support the workflow; they do not create broker authority or guarantee freight.
- Carrier-first dispatch authorization.
- No freight broker positioning.
- No freight-money handling.
- Manual outreach and audit-friendly records.
The legal documents support a carrier-first workflow.
Equitable uses documents and compliance reminders so dispatchers and carriers can keep the process clear before direct shipper outreach, load support, document tracking, POD collection, and billing review.
Confirm the role
Dispatchers apply through the dispatcher path. Carriers use carrier sign-up and carrier intake before portal access.
Collect the right documents
Use the carrier intake packet, dispatcher agreement, NDA, non-circumvention, LPOA, communication authorization, and related templates where they apply.
Set carrier-approved lanes
Direct shipper outreach should stay tied to approved equipment, approved lanes, rate expectations, and carrier authorization.
Keep records organized
Store approvals, notes, documents, PODs, and billing review inside the Equitable workflow instead of scattered messages and files.
Direct freight support without broker behavior.
Clear limits help every dispatcher and carrier understand what is allowed before applying, buying, downloading documents, or logging into a portal.
Equitable is not a freight broker
The system supports dispatch-service workflow, carrier authorization, and records. It is not a public freight marketplace or broker authority.
Carrier approval is required
The carrier controls lanes, equipment, rate expectations, shipper outreach authorization, load approval, final booking decisions, and freight money.
No freight-money handling
Equitable workflow support does not require Equitable to hold carrier freight money or act as the named transportation provider.
No guarantees
Documents, database access, training direction, and workflow tools do not guarantee freight, rates, lanes, contracts, carrier signups, or income.

Questions about documents and dispatch-service boundaries.
These answers explain the purpose of the documents, carrier authorization, direct shipper outreach limits, and the no-guarantee rule.
What is the purpose of the Legal / Compliance page?
This page explains Equitable dispatch-service boundaries and gives dispatchers and carriers access to the documents used for carrier authorization, onboarding, communication, and compliance records.
Is Equitable a freight broker?
No. Equitable is not a freight broker, motor carrier, or public load board. The workflow is built around carrier-first dispatch support, carrier approval, and compliance records.
Why are carrier authorization documents required?
Authorization documents help show that outreach, lane work, load support, and communication are tied to a specific approved carrier instead of broker-style freight allocation.
Can dispatchers use these documents to guarantee loads?
No. Equitable provides database access, workflow tools, training direction, documents, and compliance controls. It does not guarantee freight, rates, lanes, contracts, carrier signups, or income.
Which document should carriers start with?
Carriers should start with the Complete Carrier Intake Packet so equipment, lanes, authority details, rate expectations, required documents, and outreach authorization are collected in one place.
