Limited Power of Attorney
Version 2026-08-31-poa · Last updated August 31, 2026
Brokers generally will not speak to a dispatcher or assign freight until this is on file with the dispatch agreement. Carrier fields fill from the portal profile. Online clickwrap + Shoreway countersignature creates the executed copy. Operational template pending Florida transportation-attorney review. Not legal advice.
Why brokers ask for this
The dispatch agreement is the service contract. The bona fide agent appointment is the FMCSA-facing appointment. This Limited Power of Attorney is the broker-facing authority to talk to brokers, negotiate, submit packets, and — after you accept a specific load — sign that load's rate confirmation and broker-carrier agreement in your name. Without it, many brokers will not process bookings from a dispatch desk.
1. Who is appointed
Carrier appoints Shoreway Logistics LLC and its assigned dispatch personnel as attorney-in-fact for freight logistics only. One carrier signature covers the whole Shoreway desk. Carrier remains motor carrier of record.
2. What Shoreway may do
Contact licensed brokers and 3PLs, negotiate rates and accessorials, manage Carrier-assigned load-board profiles, submit the carrier packet, and after Carrier accepts that specific load, sign the rate confirmation and broker-carrier agreement as Carrier's attorney-in-fact.
3. What Shoreway may not do
Bind you to a load you have not accepted. Bind you to loans, asset sales, or long-term leases. Collect freight money except into your account or your factor. Solicit shippers. Shop one load among multiple carriers. Take a dispatch fee from a broker or factor.
4. Term and signatures
Runs with the dispatch agreement (month-to-month). Either party may terminate by written notice (email sufficient). Florida law. Electronic signatures via portal typed name and Shoreway countersignature. Full filled text lives under Documents and is emailed as a PDF with the rest of the packet.
