The question is....do you like feeling sharp blunt objects in the back when your least expecting it?
Anything to do with Scotlynn is bad news... factoring, selling them loads, taking loads from them or even buying equipment from them on their never never ever plan and working as a driver for them. They will lie, threaten, cheat and steal. We all know how shady they are regarding selling them loads...you want them to be able to look at everything you do and the rate you do it for so they know exactly how to undercut your company the next time their is a bid? CMON NOW.
And for the naysayers out there who might try and stick up for them, I've been in this industry for 14 years now and starting out even back then they were known as scummy. Longstanding reputations usually aren't because of the "gossip mill" they are well earned and well deserved good or bad.
The best alternative is realize you aren't that desperate, give your head a bit of a shake and find another solution.
