What is Freight Factoring?
Freight factoring is a financial solution that helps trucking companies manage their cash flow by converting unpaid invoices into immediate cash. Instead of waiting weeks or months for payment from shippers or brokers, a company like CarrierNet advances a percentage of the invoice amount, allowing trucking businesses to focus on running operations rather than chasing payments.
Why It’s Important for Trucking Businesses
For many in the trucking industry, cash flow can be unpredictable. Delayed payments from shippers or a slow-paying freight broker can quickly cause financial strain. That’s where freight factoring help comes in. By partnering with CarrierNet, you can avoid these delays, stabilize your income, and keep your fleet moving. Whether you’re a small trucking business or a larger fleet, factoring can help make sure you’re always prepared to cover expenses like fuel and payroll.
How Does Freight Factoring Work?
Step-by-Step Process
Freight factoring is simple with CarrierNet:
- Deliver your load to a client as usual.
- Instead of waiting for the payment terms (30, 60, or 90 days), submit the invoice to CarrierNet.
- We advance you a % of the invoice amount.
- Once we collect the payment from your client, we release the remaining balance minus a small fee.
This process, also known as load factoring, ensures you get paid fast, allowing you to keep your trucks on the road without any hiccups.
