Contractual conditions for road haulage, freight forwarding and logistics companies
The contractual terms for road haulage, forwarding and logistics companies (VBGL) are general terms and conditions and general terms and conditions drawn up by the Federal Association of Freight Transport, Logistics and Waste Management (BGL) for use in the transport, forwarding and storage sectors.
The set of rules serves (e) many freight forwarders and logistics companies as a contractual basis on the basis of which they accept orders. The contractual conditions contain various regulations on loading, transport, storage and delivery through to disposal.
The VBGL were revised after ten years - also due to the reform of German maritime trade law - in June 2013. (Current status: 2015)
More common in the forwarding business, however, are the General German Forwarding Conditions (ADSp).
On October 17, 2016, various shippers and forwarding agents' associations announced that they would now support the ADSp 2017 valid from January 1, 2017 and recommend their application. The Federal Association of Freight Transport, Logistics and Disposal (BGL) supported this call , so it can be assumed that the VBGL will no longer be recommended by the publisher with effect from January 1, 2017.
