Terms of Use (Summary)

MovingDirt.com is a directory and marketplace platform wholly owned and operated by Freight Broker Group LLC ("Company"), a licensed property freight broker (USDOT #4413464, MC #1734098), with its principal office at 519 Mishler Rd #2, Mogadore, OH 44260, phone (330) 293-5401. By using this platform, Carriers and Contractors agree to the verification requirements, documentation obligations, and anti-circumvention terms described on this page and incorporated into their respective signed agreements.

Use of the platform is contingent on successful completion of the applicable verification process (see below) and execution of the Broker-Carrier Agreement or Contractor Agreement, as applicable. Every transaction brokered through the Platform carries the standard ten percent (10%) Platform Fee described in the Platform Fee section below.

Platform Fee

Section [F] of the Broker-Carrier Agreement and Contractor Agreement:

[F].1 Standard Platform Fee

The Company's compensation for brokerage services is a fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross contract value of every transaction booked through the Platform (the "Platform Fee"). The Platform Fee applies to every haul, booking, and contract brokered by Freight Broker Group LLC (USDOT #4413464, MC #1734098) through MovingDirt.com, without exception.

[F].2 What the Fee Covers

The Platform Fee is the Company's sole standard compensation for the transaction and covers the Company's brokerage operations, including: carrier and contractor verification and re-verification, insurance monitoring, escrow-style held-funds administration, proof-of-delivery review, dispute handling, platform operations, and the Company's liability exposure as broker of record on the transaction.

[F].3 Mechanics

  • The Platform Fee is calculated on the gross amount funded by the Contractor for the booking.
  • Contractor-facing quotes on the Platform are displayed inclusive of the Platform Fee — the price a Contractor sees is the price the Contractor funds.
  • Upon POD approval and funds release, the Company remits the carrier's rate (gross contract value less the 10% Platform Fee) to the Carrier and retains the Platform Fee as earned revenue.
  • The Platform Fee is itemized on every rate confirmation and invoice issued through the Platform.
  • If a booking is cancelled under the governing agreement's cancellation terms before dispatch, the Platform Fee is not earned and held funds are returned per those terms.

Verification Workflow Summary

Full detail is available on the How It Works page and in the internal Verification Workflow document. In brief:

Carriers

  1. Application intake (legal name, DOT#, MC#, equipment, service area)
  2. Automated FMCSA QCMobile API check (authority status, safety rating, OOS rate)
  3. Owner-submitted documentation (COI, W-9, authority letter, BOC-3, signed attestation, signed agreement)
  4. Independent insurance verification (FMCSA Licensing & Insurance record cross-check + direct insurer confirmation call)
  5. Manual phone verification call, logged by staff
  6. Listing with "Verified" badge, plus ongoing recurring monitoring of authority/safety status and COI expiration

Contractors

  1. Business identity verification (legal name, EIN, address, license where applicable)
  2. Signed Contractor Agreement (payment terms, held-funds/POD process, anti-circumvention clause)
  3. Payment method verification
  4. Manual phone confirmation for accounts above a set booking-volume threshold
  5. Ongoing cancellation-rate monitoring

Anti-Circumvention / Non-Solicitation Clause

Section [X] of the Broker-Carrier Agreement and Contractor Agreement:

[X].1 Definitions

"Platform" means MovingDirt.com and any successor site, application, or service operated by Freight Broker Group LLC, a licensed property broker, USDOT #4413464, MC #1734098, 519 Mishler Rd #2, Mogadore, OH 44260 ("Company"), for the purpose of matching Contractors with Carriers for materials-hauling services.

"Introduced Party" means any Carrier, Contractor, owner-operator, dispatcher, affiliate, or other counterparty that a Party first learns of, is matched with, communicates with, or otherwise identifies as a result of using the Platform.

"Circumventing Transaction" means any booking, scheduling, contracting for, or payment for hauling, trucking, or related transportation services between a Party and an Introduced Party that occurs outside of the Platform and without the Platform's involvement in matching, invoicing, and fund handling.

"Affiliate" means any parent, subsidiary, successor, assign, family member, or entity under common control with a Party.

[X].2 Covenant Not to Circumvent

During the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following its termination or expiration (the "Restricted Period"), each Party agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any Affiliate, employee, dispatcher, or agent acting on its behalf to:

  • solicit, negotiate, book, schedule, or complete a Circumventing Transaction with any Introduced Party;
  • induce, encourage, or assist any Introduced Party to bypass, avoid, or circumvent the Platform for any hauling arrangement that could otherwise be booked through the Platform;
  • use information obtained through the Platform to establish or facilitate a direct relationship with an Introduced Party outside the Platform; or
  • accomplish indirectly, through a third party, Affiliate, or alternate business entity, anything this Section prohibits the Party from doing directly.

[X].3 Permitted Direct Contact

Nothing in this Section prohibits ordinary communication reasonably necessary to complete a Platform-booked haul between a Contractor and Carrier for a transaction that continues to be invoiced and paid through the Platform. Any request to conduct future business directly, outside the Platform, must be submitted to and approved in writing by the Company in advance; unapproved direct solicitation is a breach regardless of whether a transaction results.

[X].4 Company's Right to Compensation

If a Party breaches this Section, the Company is entitled to a fee equal to its standard ten percent (10%) Platform Fee (see Platform Fee section) for each Circumventing Transaction, calculated as if the transaction had been properly booked through the Platform. This fee reflects a reasonable estimate of the Company's actual damages and is not a penalty.

[X].5 Additional Remedies

A breach of this Section may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone may be inadequate. The Company may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to monetary damages. The prevailing party in any enforcement action is entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

[X].6–[X].7 Survival & Severability

This Section survives termination of the Agreement for the Restricted Period. Restrictions are intended to be reasonable in scope, geography, and duration; if any restriction is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable rather than voided entirely.

Driver & Unit Accuracy; Daily Assignment

Section [Y] of the Broker-Carrier Agreement:

[Y].1 Daily Driver-to-Unit Assignment

For every booking that includes a driver ("Truck + Driver" bookings), Carrier shall confirm, for each day of the booking, the specific verified driver operating the specific truck unit (by fleet unit number) assigned to that booking. This assignment must be logged with the Company before the start of that day's haul and is retained as part of the Company's audit record for the transaction.

[Y].2 Accuracy Requirement

Carrier represents and warrants that all driver and unit information provided to the Company and to Contractors — including CDL status, driver identity, and truck unit number — is true, current, and accurate. Any failure to provide accurate driver or unit information, including but not limited to assigning an unverified driver, an undisclosed substitute driver, or a different truck unit than represented without an approved Replacement Request under Section [Y].3, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and grounds for immediate termination of Carrier's access to the Platform, in addition to any other remedy available to the Company or Contractor.

[Y].3 Replacement Requests

If a previously confirmed driver or truck unit becomes unavailable for a confirmed booking, Carrier must submit a Replacement Request through the Platform identifying the reason for replacement and the proposed replacement driver and/or unit number. Where the replacement involves different equipment than originally booked, the Contractor must review and approve the Replacement Request before the substitute unit or driver may be dispatched. The original booking terms remain in effect, and Carrier remains bound by the original commitment, until such approval is granted. Repeated replacement requests may be treated by the Company as a pattern inconsistent with reliable service and grounds for review of Carrier's standing on the Platform.

[Y].4 Driver Verification Standard

Drivers assigned to Truck + Driver bookings must be independently verified by the Company prior to eligibility for assignment, including a valid Commercial Driver's License (CDL) of the appropriate class, current license status, and a signed Driver Attestation. Carrier is responsible for ensuring only verified drivers are assigned to bookings requiring a driver.

State law note: CDL and motor-vehicle-record verification requirements, and permissible background-check practices, vary by state and are subject to FCRA and related consent requirements when a third-party background check is used. Confirm compliant consent/disclosure language before finalizing.

Proof of Delivery & Held Funds (Summary)

  1. Contractor funds are held by Freight Broker Group LLC upon booking confirmation.
  2. Carrier is contractually required to submit daily proof-of-delivery records (signed ticket, photo of load/weight ticket, timestamp/geolocation where feasible) for each completed haul.
  3. Held funds for a given haul release to the Carrier only after POD is submitted and approved by staff.
  4. Disputes (short loads, damage, no-shows) are resolved per the governing agreement before funds release.
  5. Repeated late or missing POD submission is documented grounds for suspension from the Platform.
