Bwahaha!!!....fat chance of that! lol. I can't believe I just read that. WOW Well, so much for that recommendation. I would probably try to tough it out and bug Ceva till they could use somebody. You might surprised what persistence will do for you. That's how I wound up where I'm at.

I saw this post earlier, but couldn't remember the name of the company. DTH is it. I talked to them a couple of years ago. They seemed to have a lot of freight on the ATL area.

So...Joe gets a letter in the mail from the local PD. Sure 'nuff it's a $100 ticket. They say he ran a red light, even had a picture of him going through. Joe thinks about it...then he kinda chuckles and grabs HIS camera. Joe takes a picture of a $100 bill, sends it back to 'em. About a...

Would a 7k unit cool an entire van? Seems like a lot of space?

lol...funny...and I can see the van gettin hotter, but it's Laredo.... an Iceberg couldn't cool that parking lot down.

Wow, seems you did a pretty good job of it for somebody who is trying not to. I'll give you credit, you came out swinging...lol. For what it's worth, I thought we had a good decent discussion of the topic. I know for a fact that at least one person learned a lot about the factoring side of...

<snickers> You didn't think I would come in here without back-up did ya?

I've gotta ask this. Why not use a rooftop rv unit? Seems like it would be a lot less hassle.

yep...get yourself through Monroe, I'll show it to ya. Lookin like I may be here for Easter.

seems like there is a letter "h" and the word "bull" missing in there somewhere...lol

I think I'm agreein with ya col. I've always kinda felt that if the contractor needs his money faster, then maybe he needs to pay for the factoring. We're on a 3 week pay system. Yeah it's nice to be paid faster, but I'm not gonna tell somebody they gotta float a $mil outta their billfold to...

To get back to the OP's point. The company I'm leased to has something like 60 leased units, I think. If you figure $15,000/mo per unit, that means they are floating $900,000 per month. That's a lot of cashflow to have to cover. A large co with 600 trucks, that would be $9m/mo to cover...

If each load paid $1,000, then you would pay $30 for each bill = $450 If you did one load for $15,000 then you would pay $450 = the same $450? I'm always told that the catch is that if your doing $15,000/mo and your averaging 60 days to get paid, then you should be able to get by on a line...

Depends on which factoring you choose. The non-recourse factoring is much higher (5% as I understand it), but supposedly they eat it if the customer doesn't pay. Of course, it is also my understanding that your customer's credit must be approved by them before they will take the bill...

well, with that explanation, independent is probably correct. I think if I was going to do that though, I would just get my authority. Getting the authority isn't that much of a deal as I understand it. Building your business and business relationships is the challenge in a tough economy...

Hey, I'm just a pup beside you... at least in this biz.

Well, operating as an independent and having your own authority is the same thing as far as I know. I'm assuming you mean operating as lease o/o, then looking at your own authority? There is a lot that would go into that decision. Mainly being how many GOOD contacts do you have for...

My thoughts were that I could book the load, haul it, send the paperwork to the factoring co, be done with it and look for the next load knowing my money would be in the bank soon. Would it be that simple? I doubt it, but I think it could be pretty close. Now, if I was going to lease on...

Larry, for clarification. Are you planning to lease to a carrier or run under your own authority?

I considered getting my own authority for a while. I researched it quite a bit and as a solo o/o, I felt that one of the hardest things for me to keep up with would have been account recievables. I found that there are factoring companies that offer no recourse factoring for 5%. There is a good...
