Frequently Asked Questions
What is freight factoring?
Freight factoring is selling your unpaid invoices to a factoring company for immediate cash (minus a fee). Instead of waiting 30-90 days for broker payment, you get paid in 24-48 hours.
What is a typical factoring rate?
Rates range from 1-5% of the invoice amount. Recourse factoring is cheaper (1-3%) but you absorb non-payment risk. Non-recourse (2-5%) protects you from broker default.
Is freight factoring worth it?
For new carriers with cash flow issues, factoring can keep you running. But at 3% on $500K annual revenue, you're paying $15K/year. As you grow, direct invoicing is more profitable.
