AM/PM P.C.C.C. is a transportation broker not a transporting motor carrier.  Although it will assist in the prosecution of any loss or damage claim against the transporting carrier or third party, it is not responsible for damage or loss caused by the negligence or willfulness of the transporting carrier or any third party while the vehicle is in the possession of the transporting carrier, or otherwise. All such claims for loss or damage must be filed directly with the transporting carrier or against the third party. The tender and acceptance of the vehicle(s) for transport is an acknowledgment of the absence of such liability assumed or borne by AM/PM P.C.C.C.
