Out of Business
Here is my dilemma, My boss has decided to get out of the trucking business all together and has left me to turn in the truck at the end of the month. So I have this truck and trailer that is sitting for the next 2 weeks and I am out of a job. On the 23rd of this month I am moving my family to florida and he has allowed me to use the equipment to move and will help find freight from dallas to orlando with Paid on Delivery to cover the fuel. Now my question to you all, How can I use the truck to haul freight these next couple of weeks and get paid once I deliver? I have contacted some brokers and had some freight lined up but they pay 30 days after receipt of bills. kinda hard to pay for fuel when you have to wait to get fuel. Factoring companies want some kind of contract and told me by the time I set up with them It would be the end of the month. Any suggestions?

You can get paid on the same day if you know how.... It will only cost a % and a half.... Look up Freight Factoring... It is becoming a bigger industry and one of the best business that do it at only a small fee of 1.5% is 1stcommercialcredit and factorloads.
