For dedicated contracts that we act as a non-asset based service provider, BPL drafts a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) with its for hire partners.
The SLA contains all the requirements of the customer enforceable through a contract to the third party.
A typical SLA for a Hub & Spoke arrangement is as follows:

- EDI Capable to download end customer orders directly
Transportation
