Ridiculous TQL offer on a load going 548 miles.

Of course. Thats the benefit of working with great customers who pay timely. And because i work 7 days a week to service my customers and thankfully most of the carriers I work with are grown men so i dont have to babysit them all day. Not without its own headaches though, drivers can somehow flip their rigs, total my load, and somehow insurance doesnt cover it so i pay 30k out of pocket....

 

Insurance don’t always pay out. Customer may say product is damaged, when in fact it is not or has been damaged by shipper/receiver/ or was damaged originally. That’s where legal fees begin.

 

This, in a nutshell. Most of my customers are net 30+ from receipt of their required paperwork (which typically means carrier needs to submit signed POD so we can submit it). We pay in 21-25 days from receipt of invoice and signed POD. So, at the earliest, you guys are getting paid typically 5-9 days before we are, and in some cases 35-39 days before we are.

 

if you guys and gals only knew what was in the rate. if you guys only knew what they have to eat. I knew a broker, made a ton of money and also lost a lot more. Try it sometime, see how it works out for you.

 

That’s why I send all paperwork after load is delivered. Know how it feels to wait! Lol

 

And you did that because you wanted to, not because you had to. There is always a choice.. You choose your fate not the broker.

 

Nobody ever talks about customers who pay quickly (for good reason) but they do exist. A buddy of mine works direct for one customer that cuts a check every 7 days.
