The contract for the carriage of goods by road is the dominant contract in the transport document flow system, because it is it that facilitates the fulfillment of delivery obligations material assets to the recipient.
A cargo transportation contract is defined as an agreement between the carrier and the shipper, according to which the former undertakes to transport the products entrusted to him to the destination and deliver them to the person entitled to receive them. The shipper according to the contract for transport transportation undertakes to timely pay for the services provided.
The written form of the contract for transport services is predetermined by the carrier company’s obligation to draw up and issue to the sender of material assets the appropriate document on their acceptance for delivery. Such a document is a waybill. Handing over the cargo to the carrier, who in turn issues a document confirming the acceptance of the goods for transportation, provides grounds for classifying the cargo delivery agreement as a real civil law contract.
Contract of carriage for road transport is urgent, since the period of its validity is determined by the deadline for the fulfillment of obligations by the carrier. Such a period can be established either by agreement of the parties or by regulation.
The contract for the provision of transport services is compensated, since each of the parties entering into it implies the satisfaction of a property interest.
When concluding a contract for the carriage of goods, the parties are transport company(carrier, performer) and shipper (customer) - the legal owner of the transported material assets, a forwarder or another person authorized by the owner of the goods. The carrier's responsibilities include not only the acceptance and delivery of cargo, but also its delivery to the consignee.
It turns out that under the terms of the contract for the carriage of goods, the parties to the relationship are three parties: the sender, the transport company and the recipient. At the same time, it is obvious that the road transportation contract in its own way legal status- This is a two-sided document. Such unusual situation in contract law became the reason for lively and lengthy discussions in the legal literature, where the object of dispute was the legal status of the consignee.
In terms of its content, a standard cargo transportation contract belongs to the well-known contractual type - an agreement in favor of a third party, when the recipient of the cargo, who is not actually a party to the contract, has specific rights and bears corresponding obligations.
Without taking part in the conclusion of an agreement for the organization of road transport, the recipient of the cargo nevertheless acquires the right to claim against the carrier for the delivery of products at the destination. If the transport company fails to fulfill its obligation to deliver the cargo to its destination, the recipient has the right to present claims to it regarding the loss of material assets. In case of improper performance of transport services - claims for damage or shortage of cargo, as well as for failure to meet delivery deadlines.
According to the terms of the contract for the provision of cargo transportation services, transport time (transportation duration) is determined, that is, the time during which vehicles perform the entire set of cargo, technical, and commercial operations at the loading point, along the route and at the destination. The time factor is not only economic category, but also legal, since all major movements of products are regulated by the deadlines for fulfilling transport obligations in the law or contract road transportation cargo.
