In Russia, words of foreign origin are often used. They are found in the names of products, names of organizations, clothing brands, and even some professions. For example, it is difficult to answer the question of who the freighter is. Is it a driver, taxi driver, responsible for trucking or a worker in a different field?
What does he do?
A freighter is, first of all, a legal entity. As an individual entrepreneur. The main responsibilities of the charterer include the provision of a vehicle for the transport of people, baggage (baggage) or cargo.
A charterer is a person who interacts directly with the charterer. As a second specialist, both an individual and a legal entity can act. He uses and pays for the rental of a vehicle designed to carry people, baggage or cargo.
Several transports or one, but for several flights, can be used simultaneously.
Responsibilities
Charterer and charterer, who is it? As mentioned earlier, this is an individual or legal entity with the following responsibilities:
- The main obligation is the implementation of the carriage of goods. Moreover, this task is completed only if all the accompanying documentation for the goods has been transferred to the recipient.
- Any violation by the charterer must be recorded in writing.
- Claims made by the customer must be considered within seven days.
- The cargo must be delivered on time, within the strictly specified time.
- The cargo must be equipped strictly in accordance with the specified parameters of the customer.
A freighter is a carrier, so all responsibility for moving a vehicle rests with him. This applies to losses, various kinds of damage and delays.
Rights
The person responsible for transportation has the right to:
- Increase the cost of transportation, depending on additional costs.
- Increase the cost of transportation if its costs have increased.
- Demand from the senders the accompanying documentation for the goods.
- Use consignment notes and other documentation as evidence of transportation rights.
- To ask the recipient for reimbursement of expenses if during the carriage of goods he had a need to spend his own funds.
In the event that the consignee violates the subject of the contract, the charterer may hold the cargo or even sell it at auction.
The responsibility of the charterer does not provide for the payment of various costs associated with the movement of vehicles. All rights and obligations must be respected strictly from the moment of conclusion of the contract until the transfer of the goods to the recipient.
Carriage of light baggage and people
A taxi freighter is a person who carries people, as well as light baggage. This action can be performed on the basis of both an oral contract and a written one.
All rules related to the carriage of baggage are established by the charterer. The recipient is obliged to carefully read them and sign the agreement. Minor adjustments may be made by agreement of the two parties.
Depending on the situation, the charterer may also refuse to carry luggage. For example, if the packaging in which the luggage will be located does not meet the safety requirements; if there is a direct risk of damage to baggage during transportation; if the baggage does not belong at all to carriage by car. In this case, the customer and the contractor must come to the same general decision or terminate the contract.
Payment for using the vehicle is official. The charterer must present to the charterer a check or other document confirming the transfer of funds.
Interaction between Freighter and Freighter
As well as in the transportation of large cargo, at the conclusion of a transaction for the transportation of hand luggage or people, two parties participate - this is the charterer and the charterer. A freighter is a legal entity that provides one or more vehicles. A charterer is an individual or legal entity that is responsible for the use of this vehicle. A written contract is concluded between them. You can terminate it in the following cases:
- If on the part of the charterer a simple vehicle has been noticed.
- If delays occurred during transport.
- If the rules specified in the contract were violated.
The charterer must pay the penalty to the charterer if the luggage was not delivered to the recipient within the specified time.
Freighter ordering
When placing a new order, the charterer must fill out a registration journal. It should contain the following data:
- The date on which the order was accepted, and the time period during which it must be processed.
- Order number.
- Personal data of the consignee and charterer.
- Vehicle data.
- The place where the car should be handed over.
The charterer also draws up a contract. In it, he must indicate the rules for using the vehicle. In writing, the cost of providing services is indicated. After the conclusion of the contract, it can no longer change.
There are also some requirements related to baggage:
- The luggage should be of such a size that it freely passes into the doorways or fits in the trunk.
- Baggage must be in tight packaging so that it is not damaged during transportation.
- Forbidden, flammable and toxic baggage must not be carried.
The charterer is also required to make a photocopy of the driver’s card, which shows his photograph. On the windshield of a passenger car there should also be signs on which information should be indicated about where it should be next.
Carriage of baggage, cargo or people is a very important and responsible procedure. Human life, the integrity of the luggage and the vehicle depend on it. Therefore, the charterer must be especially responsible for his work and not commit violations.
