Im aggrivated.
Did engine swap last month. Bill had to go to council meeting for approval. Ended up on mechanic’s desk where it sat for 10 days where it missed the council meeting.I wont get paid until april now. He knows how the paper trail works there. Did it intentionally. Its not going to break me, but it sure pisses me off.
that’s why i turned down work from two fleet agencies,more than 45 days to get paid is unacceptable.

I understand your aggravation. Back when I was running my auto upholstery business in the mid 80s, I got a contract from the PA State Police to put 43 vinyl tops, pins stripes and side molding on former plain-Jane rental GM cars so they could use them as unmarked vehicles.

They wanted them all done in 10 days and agreed to a 20% rush premium. Terms were payment due in 30 days of delivery of the last vehicle.

I killed myself doing the work (even though I had come down with the flu for the last 3 days of the work) and delivered everything on time...but they didn’t pay as agreed.

I was pissed.

It took 7 months of red tape to finally get paid.

It was the first, last, and only time I ever did business with any government agency.
