| THE SECRET TO A GOOD AND FAST SETTLEMENT | |
|
It sounds a little too simple but if all of your paperwork is in good condition for Billing, the Settlement Process should be a snap
|
|
| Timing | |
|
The cutoff for Settlement is tied to Billing. Any Load received in Monroe by Friday 5 PM will be paid on Friday of the following week. You need to do every thing possible to make sure that all of your paper work is in and that nothing is missing. If any part of the required paper work is not with its load sheets, then it will be set back and not billed. If a load is not billed it cannot be settled. If a load is not settled, you cannot be paid for the load.

| How are Deductions Handled? | |
|
There are two types of Deductions, one time deductions and recurring deductions. One Time Load Deductions could include advances that you got, deductions for fuel or other expenses that were not supported by a receipt, or special deductions that should only happen one time. All of the advances are tied to a load and under normal circumstances you will only be charged for advances for loads that are being settled. If more than one week passes and a completed load has not been submitted, an advance may be deducted from the settlement balance. It is important that you communicate to Monroe information about any loads that become delayed or paperwork is not completed. Recurring Deductions generally occur on every check. Examples of this would be Liability/Cargo Insurance, Bobtail/Deadhead Insurance and other similar items. Escrow deduction is at the rate of $30.00 per week. Remember with Escrow the deduction will occur only until the balance reaches a preset amount, usually $750.00, at which point the deduction stops. If the balance drops down below $750.00 the deduction will begin with the next settlement to bring the Escrow back up to $750.00
