that all depends on the contract. I suspect you'd really be smarter asking these questions of your companies lawyer. rather than us arm chair lawyers. After all your company's legal dept isn't gonna take "I asked on the internet" as a valid excuse for them getting sued for mistakes that might happen.

yeah I do understand that, I meet with my lawyer Monday, so I took to this forum to get an idea of what people have to say about the topic i asked about, from prior experiences to be more broadened of the subject matter. Not to get an "answer" and make my decision based on a forum, come on now.

I understand, but people here giving you advice based on what their specific contracts deal with, is not going to give an understanding of your contracts. That is like saying does your pepsi taste like coke. While similar they are totally different. So better to go in without bad assumptions from us here, and go by the legal from your lawyer.

We are an existing carrier, that just got its own brokerage authority.

I am trying to go out and sell/inform customers about our services that we offer (especially our newly added brokerage department). I am wanting to go into as many local business (ones that I've worked directly with before and also ones that I have done business for, through a current broker) and get the word out about our newly added service to get on their board for bidding etc in the future.

Now, my worry is, I don't want to come across any non-compete issues. All I want to do is spread word about our services

Rough estimate here but Im guessing there are at least a million shippers in Michigan. Broaden your horizons perhaps and focus on the 999,000 you haven't worked for through your brokers.

Probably get better CPM out of them anyways as you won't have to be bidding against those other brokers.
