Welcome to the legal framework of BALTIC FORWARDING, INC.. We don't believe in fine-print surprises. This document outlines exactly how we handle your freight, where our hauler liability begins, and the specific delivery guarantees we maintain across our national network.

1. Scope of Transit Services

What exactly does "forwarding" entail under our banner? At BALTIC FORWARDING, INC., we act as both an architect and a guardian of your cargo. Our services include the arrangement of transportation, selection of vetted carriers, and the facilitation of multi-nodal transit paths.

By engaging our team, you're agreeing to our role as a representative in the logistical chain. We aren't just moving boxes; we're moving your business's reputation. Why settle for uncertainty when you can have a contractually backed partner?

2. Hauling Liability & Cargo Protection

We're serious about protection. Unless otherwise negotiated in a Master Services Agreement, our standard liability for loss or damage is limited in accordance with the Carmack Amendment and standard bill of lading terms.

Does this mean you're unprotected? Absolutely not. We recommend supplemental cargo insurance for high-value shipments exceeding $100,000 to ensure total peace of mind. Our team is available 24/7 to discuss specialty riders for fragile or temperature-sensitive freight.

Rapid Dispatch Protocol

We believe time is the only currency that truly matters in logistics. If a delivery is delayed due to BALTIC FORWARDING, INC.'s operational error, we provide pro-rated credits toward your next haul. It's that simple.

3. Delivery Guarantees

How do we define a "Guarantee"? In the world of transit, variables like weather and port congestion are real. However, our "On-Time or On-Target" policy ensures that we communicate every milestone. If we miss a delivery window by more than 4 hours, our dispatch lead will personally oversee the final mile completion.

4. Warehouse Operations & Storage

Storing freight is a high-stakes endeavor. When utilizing our Oklahoma City facilities or secondary hubs, you're protected by state-of-the-art surveillance and rigorous inventory management protocols. Freight left beyond the agreed holding period may be subject to prevailing daily demurrage rates.
