7. Freight & Shipping Disclaimer

Transit times, quotes, equipment availability, and routing displayed on this website or provided verbally are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly confirmed in a written service agreement. Delays may occur due to weather, traffic, mechanical issues, regulatory inspections, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our control, including acts of God, government actions, labor disputes, or shipper/receiver delays at pickup or delivery facilities.

Cargo liability for shipments transported by TURAN CARGO LLC is governed by the Carmack Amendment (49 U.S.C. § 14706) and the terms of the applicable bill of lading or transportation agreement. Our liability is limited as permitted by law and the agreed terms of carriage.

We maintain auto liability, general liability, and cargo insurance as required by FMCSA regulations. Certificates of insurance are available upon request.
