Uncollectables, how much?

We don't deal with sketchy or new brokers / shippers unless they prepay the freight bill. The Landstars and CHR's pay on time, no fuss. It's been a couple of years since we've had to take a loss due to non-payment.

 

Credit report, days to pay (payment history), complaints, word of mouth, etc. Most of that data can be found on the larger load boards.

We also check the net for angry carriers complaining about them, including here at TTR.

 

I transport cars, most of my stuff is COD, if I have a problem getting paid, I just threaten to put a lien on the vehicle, I get paid.

 

It should ALL be COD !

 

What does uncollectables have to do with fish?

 

Are you brokering freight from Long John Silvers now??
