Document background
The Haulage Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Nigeria that require professional transportation services for their goods. This document is typically used when a company needs to establish a formal relationship with a transportation service provider for regular or project-specific cargo movement. The agreement ensures compliance with Nigerian transportation laws and regulations while protecting both parties' interests through clear definition of services, responsibilities, and liabilities. It's particularly important given Nigeria's complex transportation infrastructure and regulatory environment, incorporating necessary provisions for insurance, safety standards, and operational requirements. The document is structured to address both routine transportation needs and specific circumstances such as dangerous goods handling or cross-border transportation, making it adaptable to various business requirements while maintaining legal compliance.
