for you on another page of this agreement.
If you have an accident, NTF will not be liable for the

10. Privacy Notice
This notice gives you the opportunity to opt-out of the
release of your information to non-affiliated third
parties. We needed to obtain some personal
information such as a copy of your driving record.
Our company will safeguard your nonpublic personal
information with measures that comply with federal
regulations.
If you send us a written request, we will be glad to
send out your payment history. If your payments are
on time and in good standing, this can work in your
favor.

drivers is grounds for termination of this agreement.

Should there be any dispute between NTF and you, all
action will be governed by the State of Mississippi.

arbitrator. This person is usually a retired judge who
will listen to each side, then make a decision. If no
resolution is reached, it can proceed to civil court.
Each party is responsible for their own respective
legal counsel.
In order for the agreement to be legal, this will be
repeated in certain sections of the agreement.
13. Confidential and Proprietary

applied against any money owed. There will be a

There will also be an excess mileage charge of $.25
per mile for mileage over 2,000 per week.
14. Truck Purchase Option
After one year and one day of participation, you have
the option to purchase the truck.
Your initial security deposit will be subtracted from
the price to buy the truck. The price of the truck will
be determined by the current NADA used truck book
price. Your weekly payments do not apply toward the
price of the truck, but because you are renting, your
payments are tax deductible. We suggest that you
consult with your accountant for more details.
15. First Day Protection Plan
Highlights:
A. 30-day bumper-to-bumper coverage
B. $1,000 deductible for all repairs excluding DPF
C. If the truck has a DPF installed, it will have a
separate deductible
D. Subject to conditions and limitations
E. You must call for authorization before any work on
the truck has started
(There is an addendum to this agreement that will give you the opportunity to
participate in our Super Saver Program. It reduces the deductible to $499. )
16. 50-50 Plan
After the 30-day plan, the coverage converts to a 50-
50 plan. Which means we will pay for half of the
repairs at a NTF facility only. You will need to get an
estimate and forward it to NTF. Unauthorized repairs
will not be paid for by NTF. As of now, the only NTF
facility is here in Gulfport. However, we are growing
and will soon have facilities in Atlanta and
Dallas/Fort Worth. Plans for other facilities are in the
works!
Your account has to be current in order to participate
in the 50-50 plan.
17. Safe Trip Agreement
NTF covers all of the trucks in its fleet. We are
required to even if you have this coverage already.
That way, WE KEEP UP with the lapse dates and keep
the policy in force so that the investment is protected.
This is another part of the Agreement that cannot be
changed.
This payment will be included in your weekly
payment.
