15 Factoring Companies

According to a May 31, 2024 snapshot of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA’s) carrier registration statistics, there are more than two million trucking companies in the U.S.

Many of these carriers use factoring to receive payment for their delivered loads. This helps them manage their cash flow and avoid the pain of having to wait 30-90 days before payment arrives.

Like any trucking company, you have regular overhead expenses (fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc.) you need to pay. That’s why you need consistent cash flow. Working with a factoring company has pros and cons, but it will certainly get you paid faster.

That said, you can only use one factoring provider at a time. Since the best factoring companies can become a seamless extension of your business and make your life easier, you’ll want to choose wisely.

At Anderson Trucking Service (ATS), our freight brokerage company ATS Logistics Services, Inc. works with thousands of carriers. The majority of those carriers (more than 75 percent) use factoring companies when hauling loads with us.

This article lists 15 of the factoring companies many ATS Logistics carriers use to receive payment promptly. We’re familiar with them and how they do business, so we feel confident recommending them to you as possible partners for your trucking company.

Check out our 15 top picks below to learn more about each company, their factoring services, and what reviewers are saying.
