When you started your trucking company all you saw were dollar signs… well, now you realize they were more like road signs and with each mile you drove you hoped these would turn back into dollar signs. The reality, however, has been growing your trucking business is hard work, and you live in constant fear your cash flow won’t keep up with your bills.
I would like to introduce you to trucking factoring. Trucking factoring can help you grow your trucking business by increasing your cash flow and providing you with savings on necessary expenses and everyday needs.
Let’s start with how trucking factoring works. Once you have completed the necessary paperwork with the freight bill factoring company, all it takes is three easy steps. First, you deliver the load like you usually do. Second, you submit a copy of the invoice to your freight factoring company. Lastly, you are paid without waiting the 30-60+ days you would have without factoring. It’s really that simple! By having access to the funds so quickly, your cash flow will be more predictable, and you will have the funds when you need them to pay for expenses like fuel and repairs.
One of the great things about working with an outstanding trucking factoring company, such as Tetra Capital, is in addition to getting you paid quickly they can help you save money.
