    I hear everyone discuss things like insurance and payments etc on here but how does the actual processes work for settlements and billing?

    Using the load board, I understand you call the number and at that point you may or may not be able to negotiate a price. Once that is settled I assume they send the information for pickup/drop-off times.

    My question is what happens after the delivery is all said and done. Do I call back and say its done then wait for a cheque to be mailed? Do they EMT? Or should I be sending out bills via mail or email? What if they want to pay by credit card?

    Just wondering about the more technical aspects of this part. Thanks

    All the information you're asking about is in the contract you sign the
    (broker packet) and the rate confirmation (specific load details).

    Some shippers/brokers do everything online, some still require hardcopy original paperwork mailed.

    At least he's asking. Someone who worked for me years ago got his own authority a few months ago. Would finish a load and never invoice or send the BOL's. He also never answers his phone. Brokers were trying to chase him down so they could pay him.

    Most modern day brokers will have you email a Bol and Invoice. Some are 30 day pay some 20 , others offer quick pay for a small fee .
