Talk to your local banker about a line of credit if you deal with good brokers/ customers. Factoring is just the express lane to bankruptcy. Say on the low side you do 200K per truck and pay 3% to the factoring company, thats $6000 a year. My LOC rate is 5.5% and paid @ 2200 in interest last year. Why work hard at negotiating rates and then give your money to a factoring company.

Mr.Williams,
Maybe it is because you are in Texas and banks are probably more tuned into what this type of trucking is all about. Some of don't have banks that will work with you on these things making factoring more interesting. Also some of the factoring companies are offering fuel cards that help offset the burn of the factoring fees. Glad you are more fortunate than some of us with bankers.

Well if its not late i would like to suggest a freight company, you can just browse and check out the company. I recommend BR International Logistics, i dont know if you guys know the firm but its one of the popular freight company in Australia. Maybe you can ask for some quotations and services or the freight factoring quotations. I hope this will help you out.


Regards,

I mean no harm when I say this.... But it amazes me of how some people are dead set against FACTORING and figure your giving people money that don't deserve it or are ripping you off but have MORTGAGES, CAR NOTES, BOAT NOTES, CREDIT CARD BILLS, BIG TRUCK NOTES, TRAILER NOTES and all other types of financial instruments that they're being charged fees and interest on but frown on factoring. Truth is that if you aren't paying CASH for everything then somebody is making some money off of you... Or should I say, they are getting some of your hard earned money. Now, I'll admit, if you can get an open line of credit then that's fine but HEY!!! that's not FREE either. So in my opinion, find your a reputable NON-RECOURSE factoring company... Haul the load... Get paid for it... Claim those fees on next years taxes as a business expense and keep trucking... Somebody is ALWAYS making money off of you but with factoring, at least you know upfront what's the charge is... Just my .02.. Which may not be worth much to some....

Many factoring companies do other services besides handling you bills for money.. Run credit checks for you.. Some have fuel cards available.. Any more its all about the price of doing business... Thanks to deregulation..
