New broker. Good rate. Needs a truck today.

Every trailer in a yard like this was somebody's yes. Most of them get paid. Some of them turn into ninety days of phone calls, the same paperwork sent three times, and a decision about whether it's even worth chasing.

The difference usually shows up before the load moves. How old is the authority. Is there any days-to-pay history, or just a blank file. Has anything changed since the last time you looked them up.

If a broker you've never hauled for has no record of paying carriers on time, that above-market rate isn't the opportunity. It's the warning.

Two minutes now beats ninety days later. What's the reddest flag you've caught before booking?

A good rate doesn’t mean it’s a good load.

Fraud rarely shows up on a rate confirmation looking like fraud.

It looks like a clean load.
A strong rate.
A broker or MC you haven’t hauled for before.
Everything looks good enough to send the truck.

Until you pull the credit report.

Before you commit your truck, fuel, driver time, and cash flow to an unfamiliar company, know who you’re really doing business with.

A TransPremier Credit Report can help you spot what a rate confirmation won’t:

— Authority age: Does it match the operating history they’re claiming?
— Days-to-pay history: Are other carriers actually getting paid—and how long is it taking?
— Thin or missing payment history: Is there enough history to make an informed credit decision?
— Recent address or contact changes: Has something changed since the last time you checked them?

Here’s the part worth remembering:

No payment history doesn’t mean low risk. It means you have less information about the risk you’re taking.

Once the freight is delivered, you’ve already extended the credit.

TransCredit has tracked payment behavior in the transportation since 1987 and originated the industry’s Credit Score & Days-To-Pay in 1987.

Before you cover the load, pull the credit.

Pull a TransCredit Premier Report before your truck moves, not after you’re chasing the invoice.

Uber Freight has, thus far, failed to establish a firm foothold at a time when its business model seems ripe for success. But Uber’s model of using freight as a loss-leader in a wider network of profitable subsidiaries may be here to stay!

Why are spot rates and chain capacities especially volatile right now? The short answer is the same now as it has been forever: supply versus demand. The longer answer, though, is more complicated.
