Join us for another episode of the Forward podcast 🎙️. This time, we discuss with Otmar J. Tuma when a "freight forwarder" is actually liable as a carrier.
Three key takeaways
📝 Signing transport contracts? You're likely bound by CMR liability regardless of your forwarder terms
💰 Hidden commissions (fixed costs) or cargo consolidation automatically trigger carrier-level liability
🚚 Your actions, not your paperwork, determine your liability—control the transport process, bear the responsibility
