Money Talks





Are you new to driving with UWC? If you are, or even if you have been partnered with us for some time now, we thought it would be a good time to review our methods of payment, and payment terms!

UWC has some of the best payment terms in the refrigerated produce transportation industry!! They are flexible, and have been designed to save you money and offer favorable additional benefits. Cost savings and perks, what could be better??!!

Methods of payment:

We have been committed to offering various payment methods for years now, in order to suit our Carrier partner’s specific requirements. You can choose the option that best suits your cash flow needs:

- Check: we issue paper checks that are sent by regular mail on net 7 day terms.
- Factor: if you are a Carrier Company who factors their invoices, please remember to provide us with your Factoring Company’s name and address. Or better yet, sign up for UWC’s Quick Pay – get paid in almost the same manner as if you factored and eliminate the hassle of 3rd party billing!!!
- Direct Deposit: UWC’s direct deposit payment program is secure and efficient. All you need to do is provide us with your bank details and we can have your invoices paid directly in to your bank account!!!

Payment Terms:

- Quick Pay: UWC’s Quick Pay terms are our best yet! The terms for this service are now 1.5% of Net funds due, and you get paid within 72 hours of delivery!!!** Note that Quick Pay is only available via direct deposit method of payment.
- 7 Days: This is UWC’s standard payment term. You get paid in 7 days after delivery and there are no fees for this service!!**

** Provided an invoice and all bills of lading have been received, are signed clean, and no claims are outstanding.

Remember, when you send your invoices in, you need to include an invoice page or our UWC carrier confirmation page, along with all signed Bills of Lading. Want an added benefit? Use our TRANSFLO Express program, and send your invoice paperwork to us for FREE!!!

Going Green - What it Means to Us, and What Does it Mean to YOU




UWC has been promoting Green Initiatives for a few years now. An interesting fact: With all the office paper used in America every year, we could build a 12-foot high wall of paper from New York to California!

Here are various ways we are contributing to a greener environment;

- UWC is a SmartWaySM Transport Program Partner! SmartWaySM is an innovative collaboration between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the freight sector. Being a partner means that UWC is showing we are committed to promoting greater energy efficiency and air quality within the transportation industry. UWC improved our SmartWay Score by 1300% from year 2009 to year 2010!

- UWC’s Monthly Newsletter, The Road Ahead is available for distribution via email. Visit our website and sign up today – it goes out on the 15th of every month, in English or Spanish!

- Load Confirmations, Payment Confirmations, etc., can also be emailed to you. Contact our Carrier Relations department today toll free at 1.877.273.7400 or via email at carriers@unitedworldcargo.com and let us know you are also going green and would like these emailed to you!

- We promote direct deposit over sending paper checks for payment. This program is secure and efficient; all you need to do is provide us with your bank details and we can have your invoices paid directly in to your bank account. This service is available in Quick Pay or 7 Day Terms. Call Carrier Relations for more info!

- We use recycled paper in our office! The use of paper with a minimum of 40% post-consumer content has helped us to save 10 Trees in 2010!


These are just a few of the commitments we practice on a daily basis. So, now, we would like to know, what are your Green initiatives? Remember, every little bit helps!
