Updated · 2 min read

Freight factoring is the sale of a trucking company's freight bills to a factor for same-day payment, usually 90%–97% of the load, at 1.5%–4% per load. The factor collects from the broker or shipper.

How it works

Deliver the load, upload the rate con and signed BOL, get paid the same day, and the factor collects from the broker.

New authorities

Approval depends mainly on broker credit, so new MC numbers qualify.

Fuel advances

Many factors advance a portion of the load at pickup for fuel.
