Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of bookofloads.com (the "site"), operated by JMG Marketing LLC ("we," "us," "our"), an Indiana limited liability company. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

1. What the site is

Book of Loads is an editorial publication. Articles, reports, and newsletter content are provided for general informational and educational purposes. They reflect the author's opinions and analysis of publicly available data.

2. Not professional advice

Nothing on the site is legal, financial, tax, regulatory, or business advice. We make no claim that any specific analysis applies to your situation. Decisions about your brokerage, your bond filings, your shippers, or your compliance posture should be made with appropriate professional counsel.

3. Accuracy

We make a good-faith effort to be accurate, but we don't warrant that the site is error-free, current, or complete. FMCSA data, state filings, and industry conditions change; we may not reflect every change in real time. Each article is dated, and many carry a "last reviewed" stamp.

4. Intellectual property

Articles, reports, headlines, photography, and other site content are owned by JMG Marketing LLC unless otherwise noted. You may share short excerpts with credit and a link back. You may not republish substantial portions, repackage content as your own, or use site content for AI training datasets without written permission.

5. Photography

All photography on the site is the work of Mike Gehring and is licensed for use on this site only. Please do not download and reuse photos elsewhere.

6. Newsletter and email

If you subscribe to our newsletter we'll email you periodically with new articles, reports, and editorial notes. We don't share your address with third parties for marketing purposes. Every email contains an unsubscribe link, which we honor immediately.

7. External links

The site links to external sites we think are useful. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or practices.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, JMG Marketing LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the site. Our total liability for direct damages will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a revision constitutes acceptance.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Allen County, Indiana.
