While payments can take weeks or even months to come in, operating expenses never stop. Between the fluctuating fuel prices, rising truck repair and replacement costs, and ongoing labor shortage, it’s often difficult for carriers to find the cash they need —even if they already earned it.  \nHowever, you don’t have to stretch your budget to its limits, max out your credit card, or take out loans with soaring interest rates to keep your business afloat while waiting for your partners’ payments to roll in. Instead, you can factor your loads with a reputable company.  \n2  \nWhat is freight factoring?  \nIn the trucking industry, brokers and shippers pay carriers primarily on a standard net 30 term. After the load is delivered and you’ve invoiced the broker for payment, the expenses incurred on that load, and all the loads you deliver in the next month, won’t see a return for up to a month. Enter factoring , or the process of selling invoices (accounts receivables) to a factoring company in exchange for cash.  \nEssentially, factoring eliminates the extensive waiting period that comes between the time you deliver a load and the time your customer pays the invoice. By selling your accounts receivable to a factoring partner, you can quickly get your hands on cash — often within a day. You’ll be able to use the money to run your carrier business and pass the stress of collecting customer payments on to your factoring company and rest easy knowing your factoring partner is also handling all of your back office work, offering you one easy resource for every load you deliver.  \nOf course, factoring companies have to make a profit, too. They’ll take a small percentage off the top of your invoice in exchange for giving you money upfront before your customer pays. Rates vary depending on the company, how many invoices you factor, how much your invoices are worth, your customers’ credit histories, and whether you opt for recourse or non-recourse factoring.  \n3  \nHow does freight  \nfactoring work?  \nFreight factoring might seem complicated or even intimidating for those unfamiliar with the process, but it really isn’t. In fact, factoring has become a very normal practice in the industry, with the majority of existing and new carriers using the service, and preferring it over other fast pay options like broker quick pays. Though the process may differ slightly from factor to factor, the factoring process can be summed up in five simple steps.  \n4  \nProvide your factoring company with all the important details  \nThe freight factoring process begins as soon as you book a load from a customer. You’ll need to send information about the load to your freight factoring company via an online portal or your factor’s app. Helpful information includes the load, the rate confirmation, and details about the shipper.  \nWait for your factor to complete a credit check  \nJust like you take steps to ensure your potential partners are in a position to pay you for your work, factoring companies also ensure the brokers and shippers who will pay them are actually able to pay — and in a timely manner. Factoring companies aren’t intended to buffer you from low credit and poor payment history customers. They are there to expedite your cash flow and manage your back office with trusted, credit-worthy customers. Brokers and shippers with bad credit histories may not be approved if your factor believes they’re unlikely to pay and are too much of a risk factor.  \nFactoring companies constantly monitor broker and shipper credit and share the status with you through a simple search, so there’s no waiting when you’re ready to book your next load. That way, the factor doesn’t have to complete a credit check every single time because the information is already on file and trustworthy companies are pre-identified.
