1st Commercial Credit is a non-recourse factoring company that services all transportation-related industries in the USA. Processing the freight bills and load confirmations has never been easier. Our clients simply upload their documents and we generate the invoice, fund our client and process the documents for collection to the freight broker.
Invoice factoring can immediately give your trucking company the push it needs to grow. This is not a loan, so there is nothing to pay back. We simply take your documents for a completed load and fund you 100% (No Reserves) minus a fee of 1.5% to 3%, depending on the size of your company.
Trucking companies face significant expenses such as truck payments, payroll, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and taxes. To thrive, these businesses need a consistent cash flow to cover daily costs and support growth. However, managing day-to-day operations while waiting 30, 60, or even 90 days for payment for completed loads is often impractical. Invoice factoring addresses this challenge by converting invoices for completed loads into immediate cash deposited into your bank account, thus eliminating the wait for payment. The reliability of cash flow from invoice factoring surpasses even the quick-pay programs offered by freight brokers, as provided by 1st Commercial Credit.
Freight invoice and load factoring offer ideal financial solutions for fleet owners of all sizes, owner-operators, and brokers. These parties can sell their outstanding invoices to a factoring company at a slight discount, eliminating the need to wait weeks for payment and assuming credit risk. Invoice factoring has emerged as a staple service in the trucking industry, making it unnecessary to take out loans. Given the narrow profit margins in the trucking sector, invoice factoring helps avoid the need for costly Merchant Cash Advance Loans.
Receivables financing has become a primary financial option for freight and trucking companies to gain immediate access to working capital. Freight factoring companies give you up to 97% of your unpaid invoices within 24 hours and take care of daily collections required. No more turning down contracts. A non-recourse factoring agreement can significantly enhance the financial stability of your trucking company, ensuring that your operations continue smoothly and supporting your business growth every day.

What type of cash flow issues do trucking companies face?
Fuel expenses can be a significant portion of a trucking company's operating costs. Fluctuations in fuel prices can directly impact cash flow, especially if contracts or pricing agreements don't adjust immediately. Transportation and trucking business owners are looking to improve the management of fuel purchases, and fuel cards are a helpful tool for trucking companies of all sizes and stages, from a single operator with one truck, an owner of a mid-sized fleet, or a large trucking company.
Trucks require regular maintenance to keep them operational and safe. Unexpected breakdowns or major repairs can strain cash flow if not adequately planned for.
Purchasing or leasing trucks and trailers represents a significant upfront cost for trucking companies. Financing these purchases or paying lease payments can affect cash flow, especially if revenue streams fluctuate.
To manage tire expenses and their impact on cash flow, trucking companies often employ proactive measures such as registering to tire programs, investing in quality tires designed for durability and fuel efficiency
