  7. Customer Requirements WHAT ARE THEY? • WHAT YOUR CUSTOMER REQUIRES FROM US TO PAY THE BILL… • I.E. Bill of Lading/Proof of delivery; Customer reference number in BOL field; Lumper Receipt; etc WHY THEY ARE IMPORTANT: • MISSING REQUIREMENTS RESULTING IN NON-PAYMENT CAN RESULT IN AGENCY DEDUCTIONS COMMUNICATION IS KEY!!!!!!!!

  8. Agent Risk WHAT IS IT? • ANY AMOUNT BILLED OVER THE CREDIT LIMIT OR ANY AMOUNT BILLED TO A CUSTOMER WITH NO CREDIT WHY IT IS IMPORTANT: • BILLING LOADS AT AGENT RISK MAKES YOU ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FREIGHT CHARGES IF THE CUSTOMER REFUSES TO PAY…. • TAKE SMART, CALCULATED RISKS…

  9. Agent Deductions • CAN AN AGENT BE CHARGED BACK FOR LOADS COVERED UNDER A CREDIT LINE? • YES!!!!! • WHY???? • Agent Billing Mistakes (I.E. billing wrong customer; missing customer requirements) • Unable to Provide Rate Confirmation Sheet • Unable to Meet Terms on Signed Rate Confirmation Sheet (for which customer short-pays the invoice)
