  • Good day.
    We are an emergency tractor service that has bailed out day n ross dedicated on every single occasion called upon. Would seem to be consistent that payables holds up our recievables. Our 2014 rates apparently ” are astronomical” not on the consideration of “emergency tractor service” would be appreciated that I did not have to beg and argue for our pay. The last time payroll did this we “carried”at 14% on our credit card’s. We still do not have correct reasons why. Nor do we have reciept for tire and wheel that caused the first CRITICAL delay. We are now doing the same again. Our current billed invoices remain as is. A legal invoice for Emergency services rendered. We are submitting our final invoices and do expect to be paid promptly .Please.
