Disclaimer

This is user education, not legal advice. HaulProfit is not your attorney. We don't know the specific facts of your account, your contract, or your state. If a load board has terminated your account, sent you a warning, or threatened you, talk to an attorney who handles trucking-industry contract disputes.

Disclaimer block

This is the reusable disclaimer block included at the top of every other user-rights document in this directory. The wording is intentionally short, direct, and trucker-friendly — it has to be read, not skimmed past.

Status: v1.0, counsel-approved on 2026-05-08 by outside counsel of record (per ../runbooks/pre-engaged-counsel.md workstream 1). The short and long forms below are the published English wording and may not be modified without resetting the gate per ./README.md §"Counsel review gate".

Short form (for the top of every page)

This is user education, not legal advice. HaulProfit wrote these pages so you understand the situation when a load board tells you "you can't use third-party tools." We are not your attorney. We don't know the specific facts of your account, your contract, or your state. If a load board has terminated your account, sent you a warning, or threatened you, and you are deciding what to do about it, talk to an attorney who handles trucking-industry contract disputes. The "Where to get real legal help" section in the push-back toolkit lists trucker advocacy organisations that can point you to one.

Long form (for the footer of articles that make any specific claim)

About this article.

HaulProfit publishes this article as user education and community- organising material. It is not legal advice, it is not a substitute for legal advice, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and HaulProfit or anyone at HaulProfit.

Contract law is fact-specific. The doctrines this article describes (unconscionability, public policy, right-to-read, reasonable expectations, contra proferentem) are real and long-standing, but how a court would apply any of them to your specific situation depends on the actual contract you accepted, the actual conduct that triggered the action against your account, the law of your state, and many other facts a general article cannot account for.

What this article can do is explain the situation in plain language, point out questions worth asking, and tell you where to go for help. What it cannot do is tell you what to do in your specific case.

If you want to push back on a load board's action against your account, the push-back toolkit gives you a place to start. If you want help applying any of this to your specific situation, talk to an attorney who handles trucking-industry contract disputes — the toolkit links to advocacy organisations (OOIDA, etc.) that can help you find one.

When this disclaimer appears

  • Short form: at the very top of every public-facing user-rights document, above the article title or as the first block under it. Visible without scrolling.
  • Long form: at the bottom of every article that makes any specific claim about contract doctrines, board behavior, or what a user can do — i.e., all of them.
  • Both forms: preserved verbatim across translations. The validation gates that protect the internal sales-doc translations apply: no empty translations, no identical-to-English unless allow-listed (for languages where the legal-disclaimer phrasing has a near-direct cognate, the localisation owner records the allow-list entry with a reason).

What this disclaimer does not do

It does not waive the user's rights. It does not limit HaulProfit's own obligations to the user under HaulProfit's own terms of service. It does not say HaulProfit will not help. It says only that the content of the article is education, not legal advice for the user's specific situation.

A user who needs help with their HaulProfit account, billing, or technical issue should still contact HaulProfit support — that is covered by HaulProfit's own terms, not by anything in this directory.
