Fleet account terms come down to when you pay. We offer three.
Net-30. Standard for most of our fleet customers. Invoice goes out the day of the order, payment due 30 days later. Lets you absorb a gear order against the next progress payment from a GC. About 70% of our fleet accounts run net-30.
Net-15. Faster payment in exchange for a small discount — usually 2% off list. Some bookkeepers prefer the shorter cycle for cash-flow reasons. About 15% of accounts run net-15.
"Most foremen want the gear today and the bill in 30 days. We can do that."
Cash on delivery (COD). Pay when the gear hits the trailer. No invoicing cycle. About 15% of accounts. Often used by smaller subcontractors who don't want a 30-day liability sitting on the books, or who're working in a residential cash-flow rhythm.
Why most contractors choose net-30. The math works against the project's billing rhythm. You get a draw from the GC every two weeks. Gear orders can wait one cycle without stressing the bank account. The 2% saving on net-15 doesn't matter to most operators — the time gap matters more.
What changes our terms. Late payments. If invoices keep aging past 30 days, we'll move you to net-15 or COD. Not punitive — operational. We're not a bank.
