These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of: (1) the Load Car Hauler website (loadcarhauler.com) and all related content, tools, applications (including mobile applications), and services available through the Load Car Hauler platform (collectively, the “Load Car Hauler Site”). As used herein, (i) “you” or “your” refers to you as a user of the Site; (ii) “Load Car Hauler”, “we”, or “us” refers to Load Car Hauler LLC; and (iii) “Terms of Use” refers to these Terms of Use, together with any other notices, policies, disclaimers, or restrictions we may post on the Site (collectively, the “Terms of Use”).
Use of the Site is limited to authorized Load Car Hauler users only. Any unauthorized access to or use of the Site—including but not limited to unauthorized logins, misuse of passwords, or improper access to data—is strictly prohibited.
Each time you log in with a username and password (collectively, “Login Credentials”) on the Site:
(1) You confirm that you are authorized by Load Car Hauler as an account holder (“Account Owner”), or that you are a designated employee or representative of an Account Owner (“Account User”) with permission to access the Site using the credentials provided to you.
(2) You affirm that you are the individual assigned to those Login Credentials.
(3) You agree that both you as the Account User, and the Account Owner, are bound by these Terms of Use.
For the purposes of these Terms, both Account Owners and Account Users will be referred to collectively as “Members.” The term “Membership” refers to a user’s authorized status on the Site. These Terms of Use are legally binding and carry the same force and effect as a signed written agreement.
Each Account Owner acknowledges and agrees that by granting Login Credentials to another person, they assume full responsibility for any and all actions performed on the Site under those credentials. If an Account Owner shares a single login with another individual, the Account Owner is entirely accountable for that person’s actions as though they had performed them directly.
1. The Load Car Hauler System
Through the Load Car Hauler website, we provide an internet-based platform (the “Load Car Hauler System”) that enables individuals and businesses who need to transport vehicles (“Shipper Members”) to connect with individuals or companies offering vehicle transportation services (“Carrier Members”). The System allows Members to:
- Post details related to vehicles for transport, insurance coverage, licenses, and other documentation, which can be reviewed by other Members for potential business relationships.
- Independently evaluate other Members to determine whether to engage in business with them.
The platform may also offer functionality for Members to rate other Members or to share community-driven insights, such as information on truck stops, repair facilities, or insurance providers. You acknowledge that Load Car Hauler does not control and cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of content shared on the platform, which is posted entirely by Members.

You may cancel your subscription at any time by contacting our Customer Service. Cancellations take effect at the next billing cycle. If you have pre-paid for a future month, your access will continue until that period ends. No refunds will be provided for unused time.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without cause or prior notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Site ends immediately. You must destroy any materials downloaded from the Site.
Fees and Payment
- Monthly Subscription. If you are subscribed monthly, you agree to pay the applicable monthly fees as determined by Load Car Hauler’s pricing schedule. These fees are non-refundable, may be tiered based on your usage, and are due on the same date each month corresponding to your original account activation date. We may update pricing and terms at any time by posting them on the Site. Continued use of the Site after changes implies your acceptance of the new fees.
- Annual Subscription. If you are subscribed annually, you agree to pay the full annual fee based on current rates at the time of enrollment. Fees are due within 10 days after each billing month ends. If your account is terminated for reasons not caused by Load Car Hauler, all remaining subscription fees for the current term become due within 10 days of notice. We may adjust pricing after the first 12 months with 30 days’ notice. If you do not accept the new pricing, you may cancel your account effective at the end of the current month by calling our customer service within 30 days of the notice.
- Renewal and AutoPay. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled in advance. You must provide a valid payment method (“Payment Method”) and ensure it remains active. To avoid being charged, you must cancel before the next billing cycle. Load Car Hauler reserves the right to automatically charge your Payment Method.
- Other Payment Terms. You are responsible for all applicable taxes. Accounts with outstanding balances may be suspended or terminated without notice. No pro-rated refunds are provided for partial months. If your payment method fails, you agree to pay any outstanding balance upon demand.
14. Freezing Your Account
If your account is current and has no balance due, you may freeze it for up to 90 days at no cost by contacting our customer service. This pauses your Membership without full cancellation. After 90 days, your account will be automatically reactivated at the current rate, and you will be charged the next day. You may also manually reactivate early by logging in or calling us.
15. Promotional Codes
If you used a promotional code (“Promo Code”) at signup, its terms are incorporated into these Terms of Use. If there’s any conflict between the Promo Code terms and these Terms, these Terms govern. All Promo Codes expire six (6) months after being applied unless stated otherwise.
