To the rebuttal above: Yes, they take 10%, that's upfront. But several of your other points don't mirror my experience at all. I have about a 60% acceptance rate on my conditional offers. If I don't get what a job is worth, I let it go. Yes, some jobs go to the lowest bidder, but if someone else wants to drive 100 miles for a $60 ticket, that's their business, not mine. There will always be people unwilling to pay your price, it's best to let those people go. I have several buyers that route tickets to me right away, because they know I show up, ontime, and do the job. In a year and a half on OnForce, with over 35 jobs done for them, I have only had to block one buyer. I'd consider that a pretty good rate. I consider the 10% a bargain, as they route the tickets, take care of the billing, and process payments. On average, it takes me between 3-5 business days after a job is complete to get paid for a ticket and to have the money transferred to my bank account.
