A couple of months ago, we had a highly anticipated conversation with Openforce Chief Revenue Officer Natalie Putnam, where we learned about the leverage of transportation companies in negotiating payment terms with retail customers.   As a follow-up to that conversation, our host, Nick Hancock, learns how transportation businesses can utilize OTR Solutions' Cash Float program, a benefit exclusively offered to Openforce clients.   Cash flow in any business is important, but especially in trucking and transportation businesses that are responsible for paying drivers weekly, or even daily. 90-day, 60-day, or even 30-day payment terms from retail clients can force small businesses to struggle with cash flow or worse yet, shut down entirely.   Join Nick as he chats with Clayton Griffen, OTR Solutions EVP and Chief Strategy Officer to learn more about OTR's services that help trucking and transportation companies maintain a positive cash flow.
