When you are putting your load together from a load board, make sure and get the credit rating on the shipper / broker. Most load boards offer this service, and its worth the extra money. Typically, any rating under 80% should be handled with caution. I would recommend running these cars on a COD basis only. If you deliver a vehicle, you want to make sure you are going to get payed in a reasonable amount of time. Some brokers are running their bills out to 60 days now. I WILL NOT SUPPORT THAT!!! Two times in the last 3 weeks I have recieved confirmations from brokers that state they pay their bill in 30-60 days. I circled the "60 days" and faxed them back saying "No thanks, I dont wait that long to get payed". If they put that on the confirmation, chances are you will not get your money for 80 days.

We always gave the customers 30 days but if they hit 60 days they were in collections unless they had set up a payment plan or something.
