How We Operate
AKAT offers contracts for loads transported within the continental USA (lower 48 states). To participate, please call 352-472-3343. It’s easy to get started. Once you have established your credentials with AKAT as a legal transporter, you and your authorized agents/employees will be given access to the AKAT loadboard, and each will be assigned a username and password for our system. Each agent account includes your company name, MC number, company contact information and agent’s desired personal or email address as username.
Once registered, you can elect to receive load available notices via email, have us call you about available loads, and/or visit our loadboard, which shows key details at a glance:
• Load Number (W #) and Description
• Pickup City & State
• Delivery City & State
• Hitch Type
• Mileage
• Weight
• Ready Date
• Pay Amount
To request a load, simply call our dispatcher, or reply to a load-available email.
AKAT General Terms and Conditions:
Person accepting load or assigned driver **must** call customer or customer's representative prior to driver driving to pickup location, and verbally confirm that trailer is roadworthy, accessible and ready to hitch and tow from the location stated in order, and details regarding length, height, beam, weight (and any dimension limits or conditions particular to boats), and destination details are accurate. If, having done this and driver drives to pickup location and load cannot be hitched or is otherwise not towable at no fault of the driver or driver's equipment, then AKAT will pay Transporter a Cancelled Transport Fee (Truck Not Used) to reimburse driver for time incurred. If Transporter's driver fails to arrive at pickup location on date and time agreed, AKAT may elect to cancel the transporter's order for that load.
Transporter is responsible for insuring load and is responsible for any damages to load or trailer if applicable. Transporter/Driver must provide transport tags for the towed RV or trailer. And, driver must contact AKAT to authorize any repairs, and should never solicit customer for additional fees.
AKAT Payment Terms:
AKAT Transport pays Transporters by direct deposit within 48 hours (2 business days) after receipt of verified Bill of Lading. Verified means Bill of Lading was signed by customer, attesting to no damage, and has been received by AKAT as a fully legible photo via email, complete with Order Number (W #), the Unit # or VIN number, and AKAT has verified the Bill of Lading by phone with customer.
