User Submissions

Material You Send Us

You may send us comments, messages, news tips, corrections, photographs, videos, documents, press releases, or other material.

You retain ownership of material you submit. By submitting material, you grant BigRig a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to review, store, reproduce, edit, publish, display, distribute, and otherwise use that material in connection with our editorial and business operations.

This license allows us to publish submitted material in articles, newsletters, social media posts, promotional materials, and other BigRig channels. We are not required to publish anything you submit.

Do not submit confidential information unless you understand the risks and have the legal right to disclose it.

Editorial Decisions

BigRig retains full editorial control over submitted material. We may edit, decline, remove, or publish submissions at our discretion.

Submitting material does not create an employment, agency, partnership, confidential-source, or payment relationship unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Comments and Community Features

If commenting or other community features are available, you are responsible for what you post.

We may remove content that is:

  • Abusive, threatening, or harassing
  • Defamatory or knowingly false

We are not required to monitor every submission and are not responsible for opinions expressed by users.

News Tips and Confidentiality

Sending information to BigRig does not automatically create a confidential relationship.

If confidentiality is important, clearly state that before providing sensitive information and wait for written confirmation from an authorized BigRig representative.

Do not send material that you are prohibited from disclosing by law, contract, court order, employment obligation, or another binding duty.

Corrections and Updates

We aim to publish accurate information. If you believe an article contains an error, contact us with:

  • The article title or URL
  • The statement you believe is incorrect
  • The corrected information
  • Supporting evidence or a reliable source

We may correct, clarify, update, or remove content when appropriate. Editorial decisions remain within BigRig’s discretion.

Informational Content Only

BigRig provides news, commentary, and general information.

Nothing on the website constitutes:

  • Legal advice
  • Financial or investment advice
  • Tax advice
  • Medical advice
  • Safety certification
  • Regulatory approval
  • Employment advice
  • Professional trucking or compliance advice

Transportation laws, regulations, market conditions, equipment specifications, and safety requirements can change. Always verify important information with official sources and qualified professionals before making a decision.

No Reliance on Operational Information

Do not rely solely on BigRig when making decisions involving:

  • Commercial driving or vehicle operation
  • Cargo handling
  • Equipment maintenance
  • Licensing or CDL requirements
  • Hours-of-service compliance
  • Safety procedures
  • Trade or customs compliance
  • Business transactions
  • Investments or financial commitments

You remain responsible for confirming applicable laws, regulations, instructions, and industry standards.

Third-Party Sources

Some BigRig content may rely on government publications, company statements, public records, industry sources, interviews, databases, or other third-party material.

Although we may consider these sources credible, we do not guarantee that third-party information is complete, current, or error-free.

Statements made by interview subjects, contributors, advertisers, or other third parties do not necessarily reflect the views of BigRig.

Advertising and Sponsored Content

BigRig may display advertisements, affiliate links, sponsored articles, paid announcements, or other promotional material.

Where appropriate, sponsored or promotional content may be identified with labels such as:

  • Advertisement
  • Sponsored
  • Partner Content
  • Paid Content
  • Affiliate Link

The presence of advertising does not necessarily mean BigRig endorses the advertiser, product, service, or claim.

Advertisers are responsible for their offers, representations, products, services, and legal compliance. Any transaction between you and an advertiser is solely between you and that advertiser.

Affiliate Links

BigRig may receive compensation when a reader follows certain links or completes a purchase.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, any purchase you make is from the third-party seller, not BigRig. The seller’s terms, return policy, warranty, and privacy practices apply.

External Websites

BigRig may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We do not control and are not responsible for:

  • Third-party content
  • Products or services
  • Availability or security
  • Privacy practices
  • Terms and policies
  • Accuracy of information
  • Transactions conducted through those services

You access third-party websites at your own risk.

Copyright Complaints

If you believe content on BigRig infringes your copyright, send a written notice containing:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work
  • Identification and location of the allegedly infringing material
  • Your name and contact information
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized
  • A statement that the information in your notice is accurate
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner
  • Your physical or electronic signature

Incomplete notices may delay our response.

Maintenance, technical problems, security events, or circumstances outside our control may interrupt access.

We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of:

  • Accuracy
  • Completeness
  • Reliability
  • Availability
  • Merchantability
  • Fitness for a particular purpose
  • Title
  • Non-infringement

We do not warrant that using BigRig will produce any particular business, financial, legal, regulatory, safety, or operational result.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BigRig and its owners, officers, employees, contributors, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to the website.

This includes damages resulting from:

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations of liability. In those jurisdictions, these limitations apply only to the extent allowed by law.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BigRig and its owners, officers, employees, contributors, contractors, licensors, and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, and reasonable legal expenses arising from:

  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your unlawful use of the website
  • Material you submit
  • Your infringement of another person’s rights
  • Your fraud, misconduct, or negligence

This obligation does not apply where prohibited by law.

Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to BigRig if we reasonably believe that you:

  • Violated these Terms
  • Created legal or security risk
  • Disrupted the website
  • Harmed BigRig, another user, or a third party

Provisions that should reasonably survive termination will remain effective, including provisions concerning ownership, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, and disputes.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [STATE OR JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any legal proceeding arising from these Terms or your use of BigRig must be filed in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY AND STATE], unless applicable law requires otherwise.

You consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms as BigRig, our services, or applicable laws change.

The updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of BigRig after an update means you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

The invalid provision will be interpreted or modified only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where permitted by law.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and BigRig concerning your use of the website, unless a separate written agreement applies.
