Transportation Policy

Regulatory Compliance

Hoytes Transportation LLC complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing transportation, including:

  • FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) safety and operations standards

  • DOT (Department of Transportation) vehicle maintenance, inspection, and driver qualification regulations

  • Hours of Service (HOS) limits and electronic logging device (ELD) usage

  • Insurance, licensing, and weight limit laws based on cargo type and state routes

All drivers are fully vetted, licensed, and trained in accordance with these regulations.


Cargo Handling and Liability

We are committed to responsible freight handling throughout the shipping process. While we make every effort to ensure secure transport, the following policies apply:

  • Shipments are accepted based on declared weight, size, and contents

  • Maximus Dynamics is not liable for pre-loaded freight not inspected prior to pickup

  • Any concealed damage, incomplete documentation (e.g., Bill of Lading), or improperly packaged cargo may impact liability

  • Customers must declare any hazardous, fragile, or temperature-sensitive items at time of booking

Cargo claims must be submitted within the time period stipulated by law or contract terms, along with required documentation.


Insurance Coverage

We carry commercial auto liability insurance and cargo insurance to cover standard transit risks. Optional higher-value coverage can be arranged upon request for high-risk or high-value loads.

Customers are responsible for obtaining additional insurance if required for their cargo.

  • Hazardous materials (unless properly packaged and labeled)

  • Perishables requiring refrigeration unless equipment is pre-arranged

  • Live animals or biological specimens

  • Explosives, firearms, or illegal substances

  • Currency, precious metals, or irreplaceable documents

We reserve the right to reject or return any shipment that poses a risk to safety or compliance.


Delivery Guarantees and Delays

We make every effort to deliver freight on time. However, Maximus Dynamics is not responsible for delays caused by:

  • Acts of God (weather, natural disasters)

  • Traffic, construction, or law enforcement stops

  • Mechanical failure despite scheduled maintenance

We communicate proactively with clients to manage expectations and minimize disruption.


Client Responsibilities

  • Provide accurate pickup and delivery addresses, contact numbers, and access instructions

  • Confirm freight dimensions, pallet count, and any special handling needs

  • Ensure loading/unloading locations are accessible for box trucks or semis

  • Notify us of schedule changes or cancellations in advance

Failure to meet these conditions may result in service delays, fees, or cancellation.


Dispute Resolution

Any disputes related to service, claims, or charges shall be reviewed by our dispatch and operations team in accordance with FMCSA and applicable civil procedures. Unresolved issues may be subject to mediation or local court jurisdiction depending on the client contract.


Driver Conduct Policy

All Maximus Dynamics drivers and contracted operators are expected to maintain:

  • A professional appearance (uniformed when applicable)

  • Courteous and respectful behavior at all pickup and drop-off locations

  • Zero tolerance for substance use, harassment, or unsafe driving behavior

  • Full cooperation with on-site personnel and customers during loading/unloading

Violations may result in driver suspension and are addressed under internal disciplinary procedures.


Vehicle Maintenance and Inspections

Our fleet is maintained to industry standards through routine inspections and preventative maintenance schedules. Vehicles are checked regularly for:

  • Brake performance

  • Tire condition

  • Lights and signaling systems

  • Load securement equipment

  • Cleanliness and appearance

Any unit deemed unsafe is removed from service immediately until repaired and recertified.


Accessorial Charges

Additional charges may apply in the following cases:

  • Liftgate or inside delivery service

  • Residential or limited-access location surcharges

  • Reconsignment, redelivery, or reattempts due to consignee unavailability

All charges are disclosed in advance or invoiced with supporting delivery documentation.


Shipment Refusal and Non-Compliance

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel pickup or delivery if:

  • The shipment violates stated prohibited goods policies

  • The location is unsafe or inaccessible for our equipment

  • Required documentation (BOL, PO, COI) is missing or invalid

  • The freight is damaged, improperly packaged, or mislabeled at pickup

In such cases, the customer will be notified immediately with an option to reschedule or retrieve the freight.


Cancellation and Reschedule Policy

To ensure dispatch integrity and routing efficiency:

  • Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled dispatch time

  • Same-day cancellations may incur a truck order not used (TONU) fee

  • Rescheduling is subject to availability and may affect pricing or delivery windows

Frequent late cancellations may result in account review or service restrictions.
