The rules of the road for using CarrierLinq.
Effective Date: February 17, 2026
CarrierLinq is a directory and matching platform operated by CarrierLinq LLC. We are not a freight broker, motor carrier, or freight forwarder as defined under 49 USC §13102. We are not a party to any transportation or shipment agreement between users.
CarrierLinq is currently offered at no charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid features or subscription tiers in the future with at least 30 days prior written notice to registered users.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
CarrierLinq makes no promise or guarantee of matches, business volume, response times, data accuracy, or platform uptime. We do not offer a service level agreement (SLA).
The "Verified" badge indicates that a carrier's USDOT number was found active in the FMCSA database at the time of lookup. This is a point-in-time check and is not continuously monitored. CarrierLinq does not verify safety records, insurance adequacy, service quality, or financial stability. See our Trust & Safety page for full details.
Presence on CarrierLinq does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of any kind. Users may not represent that CarrierLinq has guaranteed, recommended, or endorsed any carrier or 3PL company.
You release CarrierLinq from any and all claims, demands, and damages arising from contracts, agreements, or business relationships formed through or discovered via the Platform.
By creating an account and accepting these Terms, you consent to transact electronically. You agree that your electronic acceptance constitutes a binding agreement, equivalent to a handwritten signature, under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).
Basic profile information (company name, verification status, service area, equipment, capabilities) is visible to all authenticated users for browsing and matching purposes. Detailed contact information (business email, owner name, EIN, FMCSA-sourced physical address) is shared between a 3PL and a carrier only after the carrier expresses interest on that 3PL's opportunity. By expressing interest, both parties consent to the exchange of their business contact details.
By creating a profile, you grant CarrierLinq a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display your company name, profile information, capabilities, and service area for the purpose of operating the platform.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CARRIERLINQ'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED $100 USD. IN NO EVENT SHALL CARRIERLINQ BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CARGO LOSS OR DAMAGE, LOST PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CarrierLinq and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from: (a) your shipment agreements or transportation contracts; (b) cargo loss or damage claims; (c) misrepresentations in your profile; (d) regulatory compliance failures; or (e) your use of the platform in violation of these Terms.
CarrierLinq may suspend or terminate your account at any time for: fraud, misrepresentation, unsafe behavior, harassment, violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, or any conduct that threatens the integrity of the platform.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in the courts of Delaware, at CarrierLinq's election.
We may update these Terms with notice. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
If you register as a Carrier, the Carrier Addendum is incorporated into these Terms. If you register as a 3PL, the 3PL Addendum is incorporated into these Terms.
