1. What is factoring?

Factoring companies purchase accounts receivable. When you factor an invoice you are selling the right to collect on the invoice in trade for immediate cash.

2. Why would I want to factor my freight bills?

Many trucking companies like yours have most of their working capital tied up in invoices waiting to be paid by brokers and shippers that pay when they want to pay. Factoring gives you the cash you need to fuel your trucks, make payroll, and pay for repairs, allowing you to take the next load without worry.

3. How do I get paid for my invoices?

The day we receive your paperwork (invoice, rate confirmation, bill of lading) we can transfer the money directly to your bank account via ACH Direct Deposit, issue you an EFS Check, Comdata Comchek, or send a standard check via U.S. Mail.

4. What is Recourse vs. NON-Recourse factoring? Which program do you offer?

Under Recourse programs, the factor has the right to charge the invoice back to you at any time, thus taking the original money advanced back, plus fees, for any reason it deems necessary. We never do this.

All of our programs are NON-Recourse. This means we assume the credit risk. Once we purchase the bill from you we will not charge the invoice back to you.

5. Am I required to sell you all our invoices?

No. You choose which invoices you want to factor. We only ask that you factor all of the invoices you have for the same broker or shipper in order to make it less confusing for your customer. If they receive some invoices factored and some billed direct from you, the confusion will delay payment.

6. Will you purchase all invoices that I send to you?

No. Before accepting an assignment, simply call us and we can tell you if the freight broker is creditworthy or not. Our credit decisions are based on our personal experience, as well as their rating in Ansonia, Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, Compunet, and Transcredit. We have first-hand credit experience on 150,000+ debtors. By calling us before agreeing to take the load you minimize the risk of dealing with a broker or shipper that may end up not paying your invoice.

7. Can you deposit the money into my bank account?

Yes, we fund by ACH deposit into your bank account. We can also fund you via Comdata ComChek.

8. What if I want to stop factoring?

You can stop using our service at any time. We have no long term contracts thus no termination fees.

9. Can I get a lower rate if I have a high volume?

Yes. For higher volume customers we can offer better rates. Call us for more information.

10. What types of businesses do you factor?

We factor trucking companies only. By specializing in this industry segment, it allows us to be more knowledgeable about your business and deliver outstanding customer service.

11. Do you offer Fuel Cards?

We no longer offer fuel cards as they are now readily available to all trucking companies by third party providers.
