Once we receive all of the above information, we will provide a VETRANS Load Commitment Sheet for the specific load that is being dispatched to you. We will also provide specific instructions for pick up/delivering the load and providing required paperwork to effect payment.
VETRANS pays carrier partners based upon the submission of properly completed delivery documents, which conform to the standards provided by VETRANS.
