55 days behind is not normal, solid 3PLs have the ability to pay on multiple terms, ie quick pay, 7 day, typically 21 days being the furthest out.

I own a small brokerage, and we pay our agents when the Proof of Delivery is provided so we can bill the shipper. In my opinion it does not make good business sense to string out the people ringing the cash register.

People like Bill answer questions without first reading them. Sid is a carrier asking if he should find a new broker to haul for...

My answer is YES! Find another broker.
Yes, you should be paid within 30 days or earlier as a CARRIER.

I couldn't agree with Mark more. Try finding a Gold Book Broker to work with.
