New owner operator silly question

The broker will generally let you know how they pay BUT, don’t be afraid to ask. Find out upfront BEFORE you book because it’s different with each one. Then make sure what they told you is in writing on the rate confirmation. Once they send that rate con, that’s it. The good ones already have it in writing on their rate confirmations. Some pay EFS/comcheck. Naturally the more stable ones will pay via direct deposit. Others offer freight factoring. The DAT load board has a credit rating for brokers and also lets you know which ones you can factor a load using their factoring system. I saw the almighty unicorn of loads, the cash load, recently and, it was weird but, the load was short and, it wasn’t a broker load. I would stay away from those...A lot of folks just send their loads to a freight factoring company until they get to a point that they can wait up to 6 months for a load to pay. Good luck and keep us posted!

 

I'm still waiting for the silly part..
