RANT-HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET PAID-HAULING MUD TRUCK AND TRAILER

Getting paid is a huge problem in the construction industry. Unlike other businesses, the “you get paid when I get paid” issue hurts subcontractors that are farther down the food chain. The only real solution is to find customers to work with that pay quickly and consistently. They are the ones you always say yes to. Slow payers move down to the bottom of the list. It takes time to know who you can rely on and who you can’t.

I can feel your pain about not getting paid in a timely manner--but not in the way you might think. I used to work for a company where I handled the Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivables. When I received an invoice, I would submit it electronically to the company's central check processing center. Most invoices are "Net 30 days", but the company's policy was to pay 45 days after the date of the invoice. Long story short, guess who got the phone calls from vendors looking for their money. I felt absolutely horrible but I wasn't allowed to say anything about the 45 day thing. When I raised the issue with management, I was told, "If these vendors don't like it, they don't have to deal with us. They can go elsewhere." Seriously????

Worst part about construction is getting paid. Every developer wants to hold there money as long as possible to make all the interest from the banks that they can. Keep up the good work!!

I say every time on a construction site that if anything falls, collapses, or crashes down there’s absolutely nothing a hard hat can do to save me.

As usual another great video. I truly admire your backing skills. I have noticed that you very seldom have to pull up and try again if ever. Keep up the hard work and positive attitude. Be safe and stay positive. 🙏.

Back when I had my first heart attack I got to watch the building getting put up next door in about a week they had three stories up when I left the hospital they had six in one month great video and great job with your truck and trailer and keep up the good work God bless you and your family from Georgia

I remember 40 years ago. when I was first starting a small business. The FIRIST advice from my new accountant. Don’t let your receivables get “out of hand”. It will put a new business, out of business, faster than anything!!!

Thanks For Bringing Us All Along Much Appreciated!! Yes I Remember Those Days 60 -90 and Even 120 Days Or More!! 😳 That Was Some Sloppy Wet Dirt!! Not Too Much Fun To Shovel That Wet Sticky Heavy Mud From Box!! 💪🤨 Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊❤

💯 I’m in my third year of owner / operator of 4 axle KW T800 with a 4 axle transfer. It’s never hard finding work but it’s hard finding customers who pay on time. The majority of the customers I run for now are on a 30 day billing cycle and pay between 30 - 45 days. I’m in SW Washington state

thank you dauminique to take your time and make all this videos 👍im a semi truck driver i dont like being away from home for so many days , im thinking about getting into dump truck thats why im watching your videos , thank you again 👍🌹

Three decades ago when the construction business in this area was extremely competitive it was pretty normal to see excavation contractors paying all their owner operator dump trucks typically 60 days or more after invoice. I'm glad to hear things have improved since then. Oh wait now, three decades ago was the last time interest rates were also fairly high. Coincidence? 🤔

Great job keep up the good work love your videos thank you

Love the video. I liked the way that you didn’t sugar coat it whenever it came to talking about getting paid. A lot of people don’t discuss that because they want people to believe that it is all cupcakes and puppies. And the reality is that it isn’t. #firstclass

Hi kiddo excellent video awesome job backing up and that’s really bad you have wait get paid as always you and your families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you so,so much for talking about the owner operator, and a 70 Day Past DUE on PAYMENT for your Services. That has to be a real Hardship for you. I hear you. The clean out of your Dump bed, in my Humble opinion it shows that you care especially if your next load is gravel. You go above and beyond the call of duty😊

Oh yeah it’s like this for us too at times. Lord knows they want their materials or work delivered on time though. But god forbid you ask for your pay for the work done to be on time. Companies sure can drag their feet on that.

Big building on that job site. A muddy mucky loads you hauled out. I understand what you are going through for bills. I work at a large company in the mailroom setting and see statements coming that I turn around to send out where they go. I have seen past due statements that are way overdue. Even in large corporations it seems bills do not get paid or miss payments completely. Everyone is affected someway on things not getting paid, even me that I have to watch over my funds for money coming and going Keep up the great trucking you are doing.

Great video You did very well in the Construction site. The glamorous part of being self employed. Hurry up and wait. The best is people telling you that you can write it off. Lol You still need money coming in. Keep up the good work 🙂

60 to 90 days out to payday is tough. Hopefully it will all eventually come thru.
