YOU HAULED THE LOAD. WHY WAIT WEEKS TO USE THE MONEY?

Trucking runs on a cash-flow gap: the work is done long before the payment arrives, and the bills do not wait.

1. Accept the load

Carrier books the freight.

2. Deliver

Carrier completes delivery.

3. Submit invoice

Required paperwork goes in.

4. Broker/shipper terms

Payment follows its payment terms.

5. Wait

Carrier waits for the payment.

6. Costs continue

Fuel, payroll, repairs, insurance.

Factoring can offer an alternative source of working capital by advancing against eligible invoices, subject to the factoring company’s approval and terms. Not every invoice qualifies.

WHAT IS FREIGHT FACTORING?

Freight factoring is a financing arrangement in which a carrier assigns or sells eligible freight invoices to a factoring company. The factoring company may provide an advance against eligible invoices and later collects payment from the broker or shipper, according to the agreement. Structurally, it differs from a traditional business loan.
LOAD DELIVERED→INVOICE SUBMITTED→FACTORING COMPANY→WORKING CAPITAL→BROKER/SHIPPER PAYS
Actual approval, advance amounts, fees, reserves, payment terms and eligibility are determined by the selected factoring provider and the carrier’s agreement.

A non-recourse arrangement may transfer certain credit risks to the factoring company, but coverage is subject to the specific agreement, exclusions and conditions.

Terms vary significantly by factoring provider. Always review the actual agreement before signing.
