Question:
Drivers beware of TnT Transport Services Inc out of Bridgeview IL. As of today they haven't paid on a load we haule in the beginnign of January. When I call they are either convienantly not there or their computers are down, I don't think I am the only one who believes this to be odd. Let me assure you his load was picked up and deliverd on schedule and in the condition it was loaded.

Answer:

Scooter, welcome to the Here Driver Cartaste forums!
Not knowing the agreement or terms on the confirmation on this load, I will offer this....consider filing on the Broker Bond. It usually gets the attention of the broker when the Bond company calls about a filing.

Answer:

also try to "Factor" the load to get your money and let someone else collect from them.

Answer:

You might be jumping the gun a little...plenty of outifts have payment terms of 30 days from invoice date...You say you hauled the load at the beginning of January, but when was it delivered and when was it invoiced?
People do step out of the office and computers do go down...

Answer:

Good points. Most loads are billed once all paperwork is received to include the signed BOL. The load is then invoice and mailed. The broker then processes the invoice and sends (or sets it up) for a check to be issued. Most payments on invoices are given a 7-10 day (or 14 day in some cases) grace period from the day the invoice is mailed by the carrier or received by the broker.
So if your paperwork on the load was delivered on say Jan. 7th, you could reasonably be looking at a February 17th-21st for a grace period payment. In relative terms, a call of inquiry at the 45 day mark will usually get you a confirmation the check is in the mail with a check number for confirmation. If not then you will usually get a date the check will be cut after which you will begin the follow up calls at regular intervals until either the check arrives or you determine it's time to file on the bond. Of course it never hurts to confirm the bond is still active either.
