You know they sell red n tacky in a spray can also you have hands...pull that tube dip your hand and really get to know your fifth wheel ;)

@commoncents9732 Год назад

So how do you prevent a company from stiffing you the bill? Do you charge beforehand or do you make sure they pay for 1 dropoff before doing another? Also if the guy was making $17 million a year in revenue he definitely recovered, but it probably hurt a lot to take that hit in the short term.

@sonsofliberty3081 Год назад

Pro tip. Don't jump off your truck or trailer. You'll pay for it later on. Also, just open the grease tube and smack it off the 5th wheel a few times. Don't stand there and pump all that out.

Walmart: understandable, we'll get someone else. A lot of big companies do exactly what the video describes, expect it's more like 90 days, and they generally don't go bankrupt. Paying you late fees is often cheaper than the interest on a line of credit, and they have enough business to force you to put up with it if you want their money. Standby lines of credit are a good idea in this case though, if the company goes under or refuses to pay, the bank pays you instead, and their lawyers go after the company. Basically insurance.

Same thing happened to a hotshot driver friend of mine. He was hauling tiny homes and storage sheds from one roadside location to another for a flat rate per unit. This went on for weeks "we'll pay you when they're ALL delivered." They stopped answering the phone and never showed to the location. So, he's got 3 tiny homes and a couple sheds for sale. 😂. I got one free. Now he won't take multi-day jobs from new clients without DAILY payment. No pay today, no work tomorrow. It's in his contracts. He was in the middle of a job and they stopped paying. He told them he wouldn't be back tomorrow. "That's fine. Well call you next week." Next week he was in Wyoming and they were pissed he hadn't been at home waiting by the phone for their call. They had stuff they needed to be delivered! Shoulda read the contract. Man's got to make a living...

Agreed but that’s not exactly how big contracts work. 3 months (90 days / quarterly) is pretty good for those numbers. I’ve seen smaller contracts with longer dates . That’s where the saying don’t write cheques you can’t cash originates from 😆 Unless you meant 30 to 60 days after the original 90 days. But again, if you’re on 17M a year then it’s probably more beneficial to spread a good name than to not haul their stuff. The fact that they went bankrupt is where things fall apart as if it’s like that, the hauling company probably shouldn’t have taken the work on to start with / didn’t do their homework 1000%.

They hold what they owe you and after lots of harassing they send little bits at a time, paying off the smallest bills first.

The shady stuff doesn’t only happen in trucking. I used to work in HVAC. We had two customers who were bad pay. One had a restaurant and the other had a small grocery store. They’d call for service. We’d come out and fix their equipment. However, neither would pay until the next time something broke. When we went out, they’d pay for the previous service, but we’d have to wait for payment on the current call until the next time something broke. My boss kept letting them get away with this for several years before he finally wised up. The final straw came when one of them on a Saturday. A piece of paper had gotten sucked into a fan on the refrigeration unit for cooler. It was making a racket but wasn’t anything serious. I took the cover off, removed the paper, and the problem was solved. The customer refused to pay, because he said I didn’t really have to do anything.

Cash on arrival. I am a business owner. A guy just bought 5,400 bucks in equipment. Received it, then did a credit card dispute. The guy said he was a cop before. Well now he’s going to jail of the dispute goes through.

Never ever do work for free, unless it's a buddy, a lover, or to help out someone obviously in need. If the company you work for won't pay you leave or become a nuisance.

So he did 17m annually. That means he should have an annual buffer of about 2.7m to protect his company. He continued to work with a company that owed him even after they didn't pay. They owed 750k, but his cost was probably closer to 25% to 50% that. The implication is he went out of business due to this hit. Something doesn't add up

@etteyafed Год назад

That’s why you don’t give $750k in client credit if you can’t afford to lose it. And if your client needs that kind of credit with you better make sure their credit and books are good.

@guyinatruck Год назад

It’s not really giving credit. It’s agreeing to net payment terms which are very common practice

I was an ltl trucker,got paid hourly, worked for a company. My company leased the trucks. I had a rig with a lift gate. I noticed a serious crack in it and wrote it up. A couple of days later I got that same trailer back,did my inspection thinking that they replaced it or in the least welded it. Nope, they just painted over it and wrote that trailer up again with plenty of choice words. I quit that company soon after that when they pulled a fast one. Ltl is a mixed load. I would inspect my load and noticed a black plastic around the pallet and a generic bill of laden with no description or weight. That's odd. When I pulled the black plastic off and it was a food item. That day I also got loaded with a 6.1 in the nose. Transporting a 6.1,a poison with food is illegal and subject to a major fine on driver and company.

@Xtremcookie 8 месяцев назад

We’re in the trucking business too. The Company we drive for once wanted almost 3 months of credit.. we’ve told Them no, payment is due once a month, no excuses. They tried to replace us, they couldnt, they tried threats, didnt work. But they keep crawling back to us when they have issues. Fucking funny is what it is.

Almost the exact same thing happened to my dad more than 20 years ago. The only reason he got his money was he went to the courthouse and filed a claim the moment he got the call from the owner. The company didn't get around to filing for bankruptcy until the next day, so his claim stood.

@SleepingLionsProductions 2 месяца назад

@@Frostbite08 afaik, as a person who is familiar with the bankruptcy process, MOST COLLECTION stops (a process called automatic stay). Only money owed as a criminal proceeding and child support/alimony payments continue. So unless it was under a criminal proceeding, it's hard to believe it happened. Not saying it didn't happen, but there must be something else that made it exempt from automatic stay. Unless the debt was also not covered under the discharge of bankruptcy, in which case your dad would have to prove that it was a wilful case of fraud. Which I assumed he did if the story is truw

@Frostbite08 2 месяца назад

@@SleepingLionsProductions I can't tell you what all happened, I just know what my dad's lawyer told him. This was 20+ years ago and was a business bankruptcy, not a personal one. His lawyer was thrilled to find out he'd filed for unpaid wages before they declared bankruptcy, and said any of his coworkers would have a hard time collecting if they tried to file after. And according to every coworker he talked to, that's exactly what happened. Two of them said they went to file claims after the business declared bankruptcy, and their claims were thrown out. My dad's wasn't. And I personally saw the settlement check, so I know he wasn't lying about getting it.

In 3 years I never took a paycheck putting back into the business. had to make a 5k personal loan to cover the bank had I been paid I could have weathers a couple more months for the economy to pick back up, and it did my other brokers started calling me for loads I couldnt carry anymore...

@Illich302 6 месяцев назад

Everybody who is saying that’s how business works clearly has never been nothing more than a worker. This poor trucker worked against himself. The comment that said “once payment stops work stops” is the brightest comment i read here. The trucker could’ve hauled a load on his truck and said if he doesn’t see payment immediately all loads stop. He would’ve found out that farmer couldn’t pay much much earlier. Moral of the story is rich people never work for free, poor people do.
