Hi DRC...
Something is definately missing with our payment to you at anything plus 35 days. All of our cheques are mailed at 28 - 30 days from when we receive them and encourage email and fax as we don't require originals to speed up the mailing process. If you're ever over 35, call me directly as I handle the cheques myself.
Foreveryoung - my D&B is apparently terrible and always will be. They have about 8 invoices recorded in 5 years on my company out of over 8200 loads. Of those 8, I have called them several times to dispute these as being incorrect, to which I am told they can't tell me any information on these reports. They have however told me, I could spend $500 and buy a credit builder package to increase my score. Guess what I told them ~! I've offered them several pages of over 50 carriers I work with regularly and they said they wouldn't call unless I paid them.... to be honest!... I don't want anyone's business that bases any decisions solely on D & B fraudulent reporting methods. If you research D & B itself, they have hundreds of complaints against them for the same thing, but no one has ever been able to do anything to prevent them from mis-reporting.
I would suggest any concerned with this ficticious D & B rating based on 6 to 8 invoices which they have admitted could be a) a claim which wasn't settled b) an invoice which we didn't receive on time c) a misprint on the invoice date - call me up, and I will provide you with several pages of references including just about every factoring company in Ontario which will swear on their invoices being paid under 40 days!
I have taken a special interest in making sure I was one of the brokers which DO pay their carriers on time. In which over the past 5 years, I have only had 2 carriers ever ask for COD. And that was only for the first load, to which I now deal with regularly on 30 day terms!
I can be reached anytime 289-649-0999
