Carrier note

Use this term in context with the rate confirmation, broker communication, facility instructions, and billing paperwork. A short definition is useful, but the written load terms control the actual freight decision.

Carrier example

A carrier reviews quick pay before dispatch because payment timing and paperwork can change the practical value of the load.

Common mistake

Reviewing quick pay after delivery instead of before accepting the load.

Paperwork note

For quick pay, keep payment terms, invoice requirements, quick-pay or factoring notes, POD, BOL, and settlement follow-up records.
