Should I stay or should I run?

Worked with a RV broker last year and things went well. One of the few places that don't care that I use a 1993... Now I am working with them part time and have gone 30 days without pay. I am out upfront fuel and tire costs for RV's at the moment. I have a another job that pays the bills, this is just for fun.

The company went through a partner leaving the business and opening a competing business.

Supposedly they are getting a loan to pay everyone. Can't pay anyone as planned now. IF and IF that happens to where I do get paid should I still work for them? Or should I take the money and run?

This is the 2nd time I have gone through this with hot-shotting and brokers. The last one turned out to get us paid but, not before I had the truck repo'd.

I'd sure be leary of hanging around waiting to get bit again.

You have learned that they don't pay their obligations on time. I don't know that you want to be around if/when that turns into not paying their financial obligations at all.

Good luck.

If it's a sideline job, I'd probably hang around and see what happens. I always tend to think that everyone is honest.

Depends on how you feel about them. I'd give a person I think is trying and a second chance if they can show some credibility. Now that you know each other a little and you know pay could be delayed I'd ask for expected or % of expenses up front and then see what they say. Not sure I'd stick my neck out until I see the actual carrot though. Get everything in writing and see if you can put a lein on the travel trailer or other if you don't get paid ???? It has a title doesn't it. But if you depend on the money I would be leary. Sounds like its a bit of gamble.

I'd be putting a lean on them. My rule is if there is a pay period missed, I will be back after I get paid. If I haven't found another gig by then.
