(paveco) If you cant waut for payment deal with the factoring companies. ( whats factoring?, if you gotta ask.....) Dude, basically, you done the right thing, that load was /is crap.. regardless of back haul. get it good going out , preferably as if no back haul exist, but reasonable i.e. pay for operating costs, then when you accept back haul, make sure its still within reason of time + costs.
