Factoring is the grease that makes trucking run. Independent owner operators and small fleets need to get paid quicker than the standard 30 days or more terms, and factoring allows it.

Also on the podcast: diesel suddenly takes a huge downturn. How did that happen?

Most companies think about content marketing wrong. Some common misconceptions include: 

–“Too expensive”

–“I don’t want to manage/invest in it”

–“What's the ROI of this one blog post? Or a podcast?”

–“The barrier of entry is too difficult” 

We use these types of misconceptions to talk ourselves out of attempting a bold content marketing strategy to begin with. But what if we shifted our mindset into thinking content marketing is a cost center and instead, turned content marketing into a profit center?
