    Just wanted to share a little information about a broker we work with. Faith Freight out of Friendship, TN is a small brokerage that specializes in flatbed and stepdeck freight. I believe their loads come mostly out of middle and west TN. As a factoring company, I can't comment on how they are to work with from a trucking standpoint, but they pay quickly and our clients keep using them. I don't think I have had to make a single collection call on them.

    One of the things that caught my attention is that they are an openly Christian company. This is apparent by the Bible verse on the back of their business card, the "God Bless You" handwritten on the invoice when they mail the check, and in my conversations with Dana Lowers (owner). This may not mean anything to some of you, but to others it may intrigue you to give them a call if you're in their area. I've attached their business card if you are interested in working with them. The two ladies you will be contacting are the owner, Dana, and Sarah, the dispatcher.

    No. It means nothing except for they'll screw too over first.

    not sure if it would technically be advertising, evangelism, or both ? lol, someone from a blood-sucking factoring company recommending a broker to truckers because they put Jesus propaganda on their business communications. I'll be ######.

    Well, I suppose I could haul a load for them. Maybe I can get them to pay me 10% extra because I'm sure that they would want me to tithe. We wouldn't want to stiff Jesus out of his commission.

    I'm pretty sure these guys are a Admiral Merchants agent. And they move a ton of those transformers out of Dyersburg TN which is a good load most of the time. But posting them out of Memphis Byltheville Mayfield Sikeston Jonesboro and on and on is not really necessary.

    If someone has a swastika tattooed on their forehead, it means something. If they're walking around with rainbows and fairy beads, it means something. If they're riding around on motorcycles with patches on, it means something. If a woman is hanging out in the truck stop parking lot in shorts, tight shirt and a tramp stamp, it means something. What does it mean when someone who wants to do business with you is advertising their religious beliefs?

    99.95% of the time it means that they will screw you faster and harder than any slick haired used car salesman in the rough side of town ever could.

    I have been waiting 99 days for payment from these people. They said they sent the check 14 days ago on a load we took 8/24/2017 and the factoring company says they never got it. Who do I believe?

    Wow. I thought I was the only one who knew that any company advertising with Jesus, crosses, and bible verses is a guaranteed screw in your back.

    Faith in humanity is restored.

    Goes both directions in this industry, too. If I see a carrier pop up with a Jesus-y name in relation to one of my loads, I immediately go on edge, and I wait for the other shoe to drop.
