As a freight broker, you do a lot to help shippers place their loads with reliable carriers at reasonable costs.
Waiting to receive payment from your clients can slow you down, making it challenging to pay carriers and preventing you from taking on new loads.
Fortunately, freight broker factoring can close the payment gap and keep you moving!
What is Freight Broker Factoring?
Freight broker factoring services allow you to fund new placements without taking out a high-interest business loan. Submit your open freight bills and receive your money right away!
The Process of Factoring is Simple:
Instead of waiting up to 90 days for payment, freight brokers use factoring to pay carriers and cover their business costs immediately. Freight factoring is the process by which a factor purchases your unpaid freight bills and advances you up to 98% of the cash within 24 hours. The factoring company will collect payment from your customers while you run your business as usual. This hassle-free process is simple and gets you fast cash to run a successful business.

Benefits of Freight Broker Factoring
We want to give you what banks don’t. Factoring companies offer freight brokerages a number of advantages not available through traditional financing:
- flexible carrier payment options
- cash to take on new customers
- 24/7 online reporting
Unlimited funding potential
Unlike a conventional loan, trucking factoring is flexible and adjusts to the growth of your business. Freight factoring doesn’t involve a static dollar amount, and is based on the freight bills you submit. The more your business grows, the more funding you can receive.
Negotiate discounts with carriers
We’re all about convenience, and so are your carriers. Freight broker factoring companies will advance cash within 24 hours of receiving a freight bill, allowing you to pay your carriers faster. Take advantage of this perk by negotiating a lower rate with them for your quick service.
Fuel cards & discounts for carriers
Load some of your advance directly onto fuel cards that your carriers can use to refuel at thousands of service stations nationwide. Fuel card programs offer additional discounts and rebates at all major fuel stops nationwide, saving you even more money.
Electronic batch submission
Factoring for freight brokers is even faster with electronic submissions. Don’t waste time or money sending your freight bills overnight — email or fax a legible copy for prompt funding!

Recourse and Non-Recourse Factoring Options Offered
Recourse factoring allows the freight broker to take on the responsibility for unpaid invoices. Recourse factoring is great for large freight brokerages with enough capital to cover risky customers because rates are lower than non-recourse.
Non-recourse factoring requires the funding company to take on liability for any unpaid invoices. Freight brokers are not responsible if their shippers fail to make a payment. Non-recourse factoring is great for startups and smaller freight brokerages that don’t have enough capital to cover risky customers.
