Why use truckers.finance
Same-day cash
Submit invoice + BOL by 11am ET, money hits your account before close of business.
Broker credit checks
Factors run free credit checks on every broker before you haul. You stop hauling for slow-pay brokers.
Recourse or non-recourse
Pick the model that matches your risk profile. Non-recourse covers broker bankruptcy.
Bundled fuel discounts
Most factors bundle a fuel card with $0.20–$0.50/gal off at TA, Petro, and Pilot Flying J.
No FICO check
Underwriting is on the broker, not you. New MC authorities and bad-credit drivers are approved daily.
Back-office offload
Factor handles broker collections, statements, and aging reports. You drive — they chase.
Who qualifies
- Active MC authority (or pending — most factors approve before authority is live)
- EIN and business bank account
- Hauling for at least one broker that passes credit check
- No minimum FICO required
- No minimum monthly volume on flat-fee plans
Frequently asked questions
- What is truck factoring?
- Truck factoring is when a freight carrier sells unpaid broker invoices to a factoring company at a small discount in exchange for same-day cash. The factor advances 90%–97% of the invoice now, then collects from the broker on net-30 to net-60 terms.
- How much does freight factoring cost in 2026?
- Most factoring companies charge 1.5%–4% of the invoice. Owner-operators with steady volume often land at 2%–3%. Flat-fee plans run $30–$60 per invoice; tiered plans drop the rate as monthly volume rises.
- Recourse vs non-recourse factoring — which should I pick?
- Recourse factoring is cheaper but you eat the loss if the broker doesn't pay. Non-recourse factoring costs more (often +0.5%–1.5%) but the factor absorbs broker non-payment due to insolvency. Most owner-operators with broker credit checks built in choose recourse.
- How fast can I get funded?
- Same-day or next-day. Once your authority is set up with a factor and you submit a clean rate confirmation, BOL, and invoice, the cash hits your account in hours.
- Do I need good credit to factor invoices?
- No. Factors underwrite the broker that owes the invoice — not the carrier. New MC authorities and bad-credit owner-operators are routinely approved as long as the brokers they haul for are creditworthy.
- Can I factor with one broker only?
- Yes, but most factors require an exclusivity clause: every invoice you generate gets factored. Read the contract carefully — exit fees and notice periods vary widely.
- What's the difference between factoring and a quick-pay program?
- Quick-pay is a discount the broker offers (typically 1.5%–5%) to pay you in 1–2 days instead of 30. Factoring is a third-party service you use across all your brokers. Many owner-operators stack both.
- Will factoring affect my credit?
- Soft-pull only at signup with most factors. There is no hard inquiry and no debt reported to bureaus — factoring is a sale of receivables, not a loan.
