Invoicing Headaches for Leaf Collection Jobs - Who's Got a Better System?

Man, invoicing these seasonal leaf collections is turning into a part-time job on its own. I use Jobber to track the routes and send out bills, but customers drag their feet on payment for the fall cleanup hauls. Last week I had to chase down three accounts that were overdue from the previous round of leaf vacuuming with my Billy Goat setup. It's frustrating when you're out there blowing leaves into the truck bed and then stuck playing bill collector. Watched a video from Phil from Turf's Up on streamlining this, and he mentioned integrating QuickBooks, but I'm not sure if that's worth the switch. Anyone else dealing with this crap in collections? Feels like I'm the only one losing time on it.

Don't let them slide past 30 days or you'll never get paid on time.

Same here, commiserate with you on the leaf pileups turning into payment pileups.

Had a customer once pay me in a bag of leaves instead of cash - said it was 'fair trade' for the collection. Nearly pissed myself laughing but told him to stuff it.

Bill 'em for the comedy show too next time, charge extra for the entertainment value of their excuses.
