Hmmm I left one of the carriers a month ago. I put up 12k loaded miles for them.
I didn't see any withholds on the checks.

Ok. That's a life I've never experienced, personally. It's still a huge leap of faith. We get that.
No one PLANS on waiting that long. HeII, your oldest load is getting HAIRY!!
It seems Natxxxx Expxxxx hasn't changed at all, in how they pay, in the last 10 years. I had to go after their bond about 8-10 years ago to get paid. It may be time to make that move again.
Sad as that is.
But you're covered. We'd eat the bad debt load. Not you. But I think they have exhausted ALL of our patience. She's "requesting" the check today. BS.
I bet their power bill gets paid on time.
LOL!!

Some (OK, me) switch because their pay had been near zero, not much coming...
Escrow ? Yes, but it's held for 45 days, too...
Ken, we're tickled you're aboard!! You and BK made a great addition to Team Crossroads!!!

Not all carriers have escrow deducts.

Don't know what you are driving, but just before Grand Island there is a town with very large train Depot. We have gotten loads out of there (Something platte, might be north, home of Buffalo Bill, . Stop and see the hand carved miniature wild west show. Took over 12 years for the person to carve and paint it.

Pretty soon you're going to have as many EO members driving for you as Load 1 does.

I got lucky and had one of my loads paid already.
You can't count on it but there are some companies out there that pay the bills quickly.
About 10 days after I delivered it.
That takes some of the sting out of 6 weeks wait.

Poor Beanie! He'll get caught up.

Trust me Paul, if we could carry the SLOW broker pay, we already would!!
We don't steal drivers, tho.
For the record, I don't really recruit.
The drivers we have that care to discuss their cons and pros with Crossroads seem to sell us themselves.
We'd pay recruiting bonuses to them but then I'd have to keep another 1% of what they made to pay for them. Not happening! Maybe a box of addressed & stamped envelopes for BOLs!!

True story, Bob!!
That was Straight Shot Express.
It seems that when we really get them out of a jamb they seem to pay even faster. There's a small percentage of brokers that do that.
That really helps!!
Thank you Straight Shot Express!!

I bid on a NE tonight but I'm sure they laughed at the rate. Doesn't hurt to try. Would have certainly paid to drive the heck back out if there. No go. Not even a response. LOL!!

Factoring is usually pretty expensive. The trucking company I was with used factoring and they were able to bring the rate down to 2.5% which is the same as 30% interest over a year. They were paying a 5% fee or 60% per annum until we started doing almost $2 million with the factoring company.
