Freight factoring, truck factoring or logistics factoring is a specialized form of invoice factoring designed for the transportation industry. It is a mainstream financial strategy that involves factoring transportation receivables by the selling of account receivable invoices at a discounted rate in exchange for immediate cash.
It’s simple! First, sign up. Setup is fast and easy and you’ll get approved right away for transport factoring. Then, deliver a load. Upon delivery you submit any paperwork to show the work was completed (invoice, rate confirmation and signed bill of lading) via web upload to our client portal or through the mobile app. Then you start factoring by receiving up to 100% of your invoice immediately. The funds are transferred directly into your eCapital account.
Companies experiencing high growth, financial difficulty or are starting up qualify for freight factoring. Other examples of companies who qualify include:
Freight factoring is different than a commercial line of credit because:
Freight Factoring provides owner operators with trucking startup companies immediate access to capital. With this, you avoid the 30 to 90 day payment period common in the trucking industry. If you do business with creditworthy customers then you qualify for freight factoring.

What is recourse factoring?
Recourse factoring is a factoring agreement in which a trucking company sells its invoice receivables to a factoring company with the understanding that if the invoice remains unpaid after the recourse period for any reason (usually 60 to 90 days), the trucking company will be obligated to buy the invoice back.
Recourse factoring is the most popular type of factoring. It is more flexible and costs less than non-recourse factoring.
What is non-recourse factoring?
Non-recourse factoring is a factoring agreement in which a trucking company sells its invoice receivables to a factor with the understanding that if the debtor (your company’s customer) does not pay the invoice by the end of the recourse period, the factoring company may be obligated to absorb the loss. However, in non-recourse factoring, it is important to note that no universal definition specifies the liability’s circumstances. (More on this in the next section).
In effect, non-recourse factoring is like recourse factoring with an added layer of bad debt protection. For this reason, it may be more appealing to trucking companies who deal with higher-risk shippers and shippers who have been known to exceed their agreed-upon payment dates.
