- Best for
- Carriers with a year of authority who want two-week pay without factoring
Our take
Carriers past their first year get two-week pay at Allen Lund without selling their invoices. If you factor, the schedule doubles to 30 days, and advances need written permission first.
The 40% fuel advance after pickup helps on long hauls. For Comchek Quick Pay, contact Allen Lund by 4:30 p.m.
Pros
- Short pay terms for carriers who don't factor
- Fuel advances once the load is picked up
