For the record I’m a auto transporter and I like to get paid cash because you can deliver a car and get paid with a check and then the customer can bounce the check and slip off in to the night to never be seen again.
I also like to be paid cash so you don’t get a stop pay on a check when a customer says you put a quarter inch scratch on his car 3 weeks after delivery with a signed clean delivery inspection with pictures.
If you are not or ever been an auto hauler it may be hard to understand?
As a case in point I doubt a freight hauler ever got a stop pay because a pallet had a broken board or a scratch on it.
Or how about a gasoline hauler getting a stop pay because 10 oz of the load hit the ground when the lines were unhooked?
Or the grain haul because 20 kernels of corn were on the ground from the load where just they unloaded.
Car haul is A very different animal and you have to be very precise with load and unload with zero margin for error.
Because of this it is a industry that can be ripe for false claims so companies and drivers need to take precautions not only loading and unloading but also getting paid.
