How Britt Trucking Escrow Works?

Britt Trucking reduces the risk of fraud by acting as a trusted third-party that collects, holds and only disburses funds when both Buyers and Sellers are satisfied. Escrows are very useful in the case of a transaction where a large amount of money is involved and a certain number of obligations need to be fulfilled before a payment is released. Vehicles and Heavy Equipment are commonly high-value items, and the finalizing of the payment can often pose a high risk to the finances of all parties involved. Rather than relying on trusting a stranger to fulfill their verbal obligations, placing money in an escrow account while the item purchase settles completely eliminates any risk to the seller or purchaser.

The process of using Britt Trucking escrow service for your car, motorcycle, boat, RV or heavy equipment purchase couldn’t be simpler. Once the purchaser has chosen the item that they want to buy they will contact Britt Trucking to have the terms of the sale written up. These terms include, but are not limited to, the cost of the item and a period in which the purchaser can let the seller know if they are unhappy with any aspects of the item, this is an extra guarantee to the purchaser, provided by Britt Trucking, that if the item has any previously undisclosed faults, they will be within their rights to dispute the transaction.
