How are carriers paid for loads?
When the load is booked under the carrier’s company name, the same company name is put on the rate confirmation by the shipper or broker, and only you as the company owner are authorized to receive funds.
How do carriers pay DT Lines for dispatch services?
Carriers can pay us with the help of their factoring company, via ACH, or by putting a debit/credit card on file. Every week, we send carriers an invoice one week in arrears for any payments through ACH or debit/credit cards.
