    Well that is not the case with my factoring company, they pay me my profit minus the factoring fee of 2.5-5% and the carrier gets paid directly from the factoring company we have no access to the carriers money whatsoever i"m coming to the conclusion that the carriers misunderstand it.

    Its like the cashier @ Walmart telling me I dont know you and I dont have any experience with you so I cant take your credit card its the same thing its a third party paying the service provider.

    Well the thing is bro...that's just not the norm in the industry. You can't bag the carriers for not understanding how you do business. Might behoove you to put together a portfolio with letters of reference to include in your carrier sign up packet. I dunno. What I DO know is that if you want a long fruitful career in your chosen industry you're gonna have to develop a sense of empathy with the guys that are actually out there makin you money. Callin em stupid, or clowns, cuz you're doin things different ain't gonna get you far.

    Usually kids and teenagers call each other poop, clown, stupid and all that stuff, so I am not sure why you are using such a language. Anyways, I run 100% brokered freight and have never heard about the set up what you have. Is there a guarantee that your factoring company will pay me after the load has been delivered?
    Good luck with your journey, just remember not to call carrier a clown when you are on the phone with them

    Well I factor most of my loads and so far the carriers have not come back saying that they were not getting paid.
