    so um I just started this week under my own authority, im only giving away 3 percent to factor. So we have a nest egg but that'd for breakdowns.
    I could probably wait a week or so and not get factor but being brand new and not really onboarded with many brokers yet I've question the legitimate of the brokers. So to start using a factor company is just an extra layer of protection.

    when you research these brokers usually half good reviews and half I've been screwed reviews. But so far I'm 2 for 2 and now I'm onboard with the big 2 tql and ch. But yeah rates our #### and unfortunately this truck is drinking more diesel then I want it to but I feel foe learning on the fly in this crappy market feel I did pretty good and the money is coming in

    Take broker reviews with a grain of salt. I've been working with a broker that has a two star rating on DAT because of a couple bad reviews from a few of years ago. My experience has been nothing but positive.
