Carrier Advisory Engagement Terms & Governance Matrix
Commercial freight consulting requires working directly inside carrier rate structures, dispatch databases, and financial systems. While website browsing is governed by the terms above, all formal advisory engagements with Strong Tower Consulting are governed by structured, written Master Services Agreements (MSAs) featuring comprehensive protections:
| Governance Pillar | Legal & Contractual Standard | Motor Carrier Protection | Strong Tower Consulting Commitment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Separate Legal Entities & Firewall | Strong Tower Consulting, LLC and Exspeedite LLC are separately organized companies under common ownership (separate EINs). | Zero cross-entity liability; engaging consulting services never requires or implies software purchase obligations. | Strict operational, legal, and financial firewall maintained at all times across advisory and software entities. |
| Confidentiality & Proprietary Data | Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (MNDA) executed prior to operational assessment or system discovery. | Protects customer shipper lists, lane rate tariffs, driver pay settlements, and financial margin data. | Strict non-disclosure; carrier data is never shared, aggregated, or utilized outside the specific client project scope. |
| Database Access & Change Control | Formal change management protocol and authorized access control credentials. | Guarantees no untested scripts or unauthorized schema modifications are executed against live production databases. | All database tuning, stored procedures, and migration ETL scripts are tested in isolated staging environments first. |
| Deliverable IP & Work Product Ownership | Custom deliverables (SQL scripts, Crystal Reports, process maps, FRDs) become carrier operational property. | Carrier retains full, unencumbered rights to run, modify, and maintain all custom reports and queries indefinitely. | Full source code, SQL queries, and documentation handed over to client with zero proprietary lock-in. |
| Independent Fiduciary Neutrality | Zero-kickback vendor neutrality clause in all software selection and advisory contracts. | Guarantees technology recommendations are based 100% on carrier merit, not software vendor referral commissions. | Strict independence; zero financial kickbacks, reseller commissions, or vendor incentives accepted. |
