For carriers, working with reliable brokers and shippers is essential for maintaining a steady flow of loads and ensuring timely payments. There’s nothing worse than completing a delivery and not getting compensated for your hard work on time, or at all.  

Luckily, there are ways you can avoid this scenario with a little due diligence. One crucial step in this process is checking debtor credit before accepting a load. 

Saving money is important for achieving both your short- and long-term business goals as a trucking company. Doing so helps carriers save for unexpected expenses, work toward purchasing new equipment and finding other ways to grow their business. When coming up with a savings plan, it’s important to remember that starting small is better than not starting at all!

At some point, most of us have been told about the importance of saving money. Unfortunately, that message is often delivered in a negative context – specifically one that tells us how bad we are at it, and how our future goals will be unattainable if we don’t start saving our money right now.
