    Sounds to me like you were not an employee. Therefore, you are just another creditor in line.

    If you used your own truck, and you are not working for them and escrow is involved, it depends on the contract. However, as Psanderson states, it is normally 45 days to have them to issue the escrow.

    Payment for a run is usually required within 10 days of the run completion.
