These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of securahaul.com, including its articles, email newsletter and advertising inquiry form (together, the "Site"). The Site is operated by SecuraHaul ("SecuraHaul", "we", "us"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
1. Information only, not legal or professional advice
Articles on the Site are general information about fleet safety, DOT and FMCSA compliance, driver employment, insurance, and litigation. They are not legal, compliance, insurance, tax, or other professional advice, and they aren't a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation.
- Regulations, enforcement priorities, and court decisions change, and they vary by state. An article may be out of date or may not apply to you.
- Reading the Site, subscribing, or contacting us doesn't create an attorney-client or any other professional relationship.
- Before acting on anything you read here, check current official sources, such as FMCSA and your state agencies, and talk to a qualified attorney or compliance professional.
You're responsible for your own decisions and your own regulatory compliance.
2. Accuracy
We work to keep articles accurate and current, but we don't guarantee that any content is complete, correct, or up to date. We may change, update, or remove content at any time without notice.
3. Using our content
The Site and its content, including articles, images, graphics, logos, and design, are owned by SecuraHaul or its licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.
You may:
- read and print articles for your own personal or internal business use;
- share links to articles; and
- quote short excerpts, with credit to SecuraHaul and a link to the original article.
Without our written permission, you may not:
- republish, sell, or distribute full articles or substantial parts of them;
- remove copyright or other notices; or
- use SecuraHaul's name, logo, or trademarks in a way that suggests we endorse you or your products.
4. Newsletter
If you subscribe, you agree to receive emails from us with trucking news, new articles, occasional SecuraHaul updates, and clearly labeled sponsored content from our advertisers. You must use an email address you're authorized to use. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in any email or by contacting us. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your email address.
5. Advertising inquiries
You can ask about advertising with SecuraHaul through the Advertise page or by emailing marketing@securahaul.com. Campaigns run across our channels, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, this blog, and our email newsletter. The information you send must be accurate, and you must be authorized to act for the company or brand you name.
Sending an inquiry doesn't create an agreement or an obligation for either side. We may decline any inquiry for any reason, including if a product, service, or message doesn't fit our audience or our standards. Any campaign we agree to run is governed by a separate written agreement that sets out the deliverables, schedule, pricing, and content approval, and sponsored content will be disclosed as required by law and by each platform's rules.
6. Acceptable use
When using the Site, you agree not to:
- break any applicable law or regulation;
- try to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its admin area, or the systems behind it;
- interfere with the Site's operation, including by introducing malware or flooding it with requests;
- use bots or scripts to submit signups or inquiries, or subscribe anyone else without their permission;
- scrape or copy the Site's content in bulk, including to train AI or machine learning models, other than indexing by search engines; or
- use the Site to send spam or harass anyone.
We may block access to the Site for anyone who violates these Terms.
7. Third-party links
The Site links to websites and services we don't control, including government agencies, news sources, and social media platforms. These links are for convenience. We don't endorse those sites and aren't responsible for their content, policies, or practices.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON'T WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SECURAHAUL AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRIBUTORS WON'T BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON ITS CONTENT, INCLUDING AUDIT OUTCOMES, FINES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, OR LAWSUITS, EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN TOLD SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SITE WON'T EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100).
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limits, so some of the above may not apply to you.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SecuraHaul from any claims, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
11. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which SecuraHaul is organized and by applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Site will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that state, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in this section limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that apply where you live.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time and will change the "Last updated" date above when we do. If you keep using the Site after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.
13. General
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision isn't a waiver of it. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and SecuraHaul about the Site, except for any separate written advertising agreement, which governs the campaign it covers.
