I personally don't care when or if the carrier will submit their invoice. As long as I get a clean POD, you can be sure that I won't bother any carrier. Especially when there are owner-operators that are on the road all the time and don't have time to get it submitted. Must be a crooked broker.
The only critical document that a broker needs after a load is complete is the POD. The invoice should be up to the carrier's discretion on when he wants to send it. After all, the carrier is the most interested party when it comes to the invoice. What if the carrier doesn't feel like billing the broker yet? The shipper doesn't receive the invoice; the broker does.
I would like a little clarification. Do the carrier terms or ratecon indicate when the invoice is to be provided? You need a starting point to actually know if he’s late because they are suggesting then that the invoice is due the day you deliver. That would be unusual and so you need that information
@@carrierassure I am still not in agreement with your statement. I listened and watched again. She stated that the carrier may be charged 150 per day for late invoices from the date of delivery. I go back to my earlier question. What was the date the invoice was due? Saying “from the date of delivery does not mean that is the date it is due. It needs to be stipulated correctly, or they have no leg to stand on. Especially since if they are implying that the invoice was due on the date of delivery, that is out of the ordinary and unusual, therefore it needs to be clearly noted. If you really are carrier assure as your name tag says then I believe you should pay more attention to these details before posting results of your analysis for carriers to see. You can’t go to court with an ethical argument. I am offering you a legal argument which is what is required to show these brokers are playing fast and loose.
