Brokers act as intermediaries, putting together carriers with equipment and shippers with freight. Carriers need money right away, and shippers traditionally wait months before paying their shipping bills.
Very few freight factoring companies fund freight broker related receivables due to potential risk if the broker does not pay the carrier. Brokers act as commissioned agents, putting together carriers with equipment and shippers with freight needs. Carriers need money right away, and shippers traditionally wait months before paying their shipping bills.
The receivable payable to the freight broker by the shipper is recognized by transportation law as a trust fund pass through payment the belongs to the carrier of record.
1st Commercial Credit has a designated platform for servicing freight brokers and payables to carriers in order to fund this transaction flow. If you are a freight broker that would be interested in this type of funding service please call us.
Freight Broker must be in business for a minimum of 6 months with recurring business to shippers.
We know your industry. Any freight brokerage company can qualify for invoice factoring if it hauls for credit worthy shippers and has not pledged its accounts receivable as collateral.
A freight broker can be a company or an individual who brings together a shipper with goods to transport with an authorized carrier looking to provide its services. In short, freight brokers help shippers find reliable carriers with whom to place their loads at a reasonable cost. A freight broker is considered a transportation intermediary and not a shipper or an asset-owning carrier who plays a crucial role in cargo movement. Brokers provide treasured services by helping carriers fill their trucks and earn commissions for their work. At the same time, they help shippers find trustworthy motor carriers that can sometimes be tricky to find. In some cases, brokers will coordinate all the shipping and transportation management needs of a company. As a freight broker, you will do a lot to help shippers place their load with reliable carriers at reasonable costs.
As an intermediary, sometimes waiting to receive payment from a client can significantly slow your company down.

Freight broker companies no longer have to wait 90 days or more for payments. They can use the funding services offered by freight factoring companies and cover business costs and pay carriers. Truck factoring services involve a factor that buys a company’s unpaid freight bills in exchange for an advance of up to 98% (depending on the industry) in 24 hours or less. The factoring company will then collect payment directly from your customers while running the business as usual.
