Credit

I can't defend the name calling but I can defend the set up.

We use Triumph Business Capital as our factoring company. Triumph does all our back office and pays all of the carrier payments by ACH in 24 hours. The only advance the broker(we) receive is the difference between the carrier payment and the total invoice. This way the factoring company is not subject to any claims by unpaid carriers and the carrier is guaranteed payment. It's a great set up, but as a new broker it's still tough to get carriers on board because all they look at is the MC number

 

And I wish that your ignorant ### just goes out of business, you have no idea how this business works and you already don't have respect for carriers. Go get a truck, get screwed by some broker and then we'll see how much trust you gonna have for any punk out there, who decided that he wants to be a broker

 

I think it's up to you as the broker to sell yourself to the carrier as much as it is the shipper. As a broker your primary function is customer service in both directions of the transaction. Using your example, the credit card companies have earned the trust of the merchants over decades of work. Stores didn't automatically accept credit cards back when it was a new idea and payment model, it took time to build the two way relationship.
I do understand your frustration with carriers that only look at MC numbers but if they are short on time they need some indicator that helps minimize risk.
If a carrier passes on you based their qualifying criteria for loads it's probably not a good fit for both of you anyway.
