When do brokers pay?
I am looking into buying a truck and trailer very soon...I am trying to get an idea of how much capital I need to have available to cover costs or fuel,maintance,toll,etc etc so typically how long does it take to get a check from the broker/contracted client after the load has been delivered.....any other advice is encouraged ....
Thanks

depends on the broker and your agreement/contract with said broker. could be 30-90 days or never if they are a shady broker and you dont do your homework on them.

I was doing some research on a few some say 10-30 days then there's a quick pay option to get paid a little quicker for a fee...is it typically over 30 days to get a check?

to the OP.
Depends on the payment arrangements you have agreed upon. You might get paid in 1-3 days or 1-3 months depending on the arrangements.
Pull a credit check on them and see what their record is.
