    I don’t factor. Not giving anyone my earned money that I don’t have too. Otherwise what’s the point? You can review credit rating and info on DAT. If you don’t have a warm and fuzzy, move on. Sometimes best deals are the ones you forgo. After a while you get your regulars and build a relationship. Relationships are the key to success.

    You should have enough capital to cover operating expenses while waiting to be paid.

    You can quick pay for less than you can factor.

    factoring company’s contracts are a nightmare. Search it right here on ttr.

    the list goes on…

    I think so, somebody was telling him in another thread real world trucking's not the same as truck driving on an xbox or playstation.

    Anyone seeing an uptick in phone calls offering dispatching services? I'm seeing double or triple the average daily calls for some reason.

    For sure get lots of sketchy "dispatch services" calling on postings ever since some time last year. It's not even worth it to post anymore.

    Yes mainly Asian accents, lots of texts as well. They’re desperate it seems

    Yes I get least 2 or more per day and I have not even looked at the load board since before Christmas...most of them are all thick Indian accents. Bet they don't even live here in usa..

    I'd like to see these dispatch companies go away. They are nothing more than double brokers who don't have the same compliance and regulations as real brokers because they are "just dispatchers" .
