I’ve been in business 12 years and have never factored anything. Those that do Factor What is the biggest motivator for you? Cash Flow? Collections? Your Credit? Anything else? Is it worth the percentage you pay out and that’s not hitting your books as part of your profit?

Heard one of the Validation platforms tell me they were going to Red Flag all carriers who also have a brokerage out of the same location as their carrier. Why? The FMCSA allows a carrier to apply for brokerage authority. You can have a DOT number and have 2 separate MC numbers one for the brokerage and one for the carrier. So the setup is legal and legit. I happen to have both separate. I’m old school got my authorities before they allowed the combination. I have my brokerage with DOT number and MC And my carrier with its own DOT and MC. But why the idea that if they operate together out of the same location than it’s a high risk double brokerage issue and should be red flagged in their system?
