Average rates for O/O

Yep.

And brokers might not be paying on time. Or your mail is late due to new workers in training during the holiday season. So, you wait until you get paid.
Your luck can turn any day.

 

Well now we are really discussion a different topic.
But i will say once again, ive seen it played out both ways. (Blessing and the devil)

When i first started out, as a bedbugger. A old timer told me, "always take as much cash advance as company will give" . Better you owe them, than they go out of business owing you.

Doing household i always took 25% of line haul or $3000 what ever the max was.
Usually did run on appx 12-15% of line haul. Put rest in envelope.
Only someone who cant manage their money would be upset when their check is $500-1000 short. But had $500-1000 in their pocket.

Talking about advances is like talking about trucks. Whats better new with a payment, or older but paid off.

Kudos to you for figuring out what works for you.
