Case study: How Factoring Would Work for a Small Fleet Owner

Maybe you come from a steady 9 – 5 job environment, own a single truck or a small group of trucks. Regardless of where your business is at present, you’re still growing and managing your own small fleet.

While large trucking companies have the backing of insurers, a steady client log book and a dedicated credit collector within the company, you’re probably focusing more on ensuring that your clients are satisfied and that your trailers are loaded when they need to be. One of the challenges that you might be struggling with, however, is making sure you’ve got a positive cash flow in between client payment cycles.

Freight factoring is ideal for small fleet owners because it gives you more leeway to deal with expenses such as rent, salaries, vehicle maintenance and other overheads as well as fixed expenses during the periods that you’re waiting for clients to pay their invoices. This gives you more time to focus on handling the day-to-day issues, finding profitable loads and building your fleet.

At Interstate Capital, we help small fleet owners by making sure that a delay in payments doesn’t hold them back. Small fleet owners generally don’t have a large cash reserve, which can mean that you won’t be able to take on more jobs and loads until your clients have paid you for jobs that have already been completed. When you partner with us, you will receive an advance on your invoices so that you don’t have to wait months to get paid (you get paid very shortly after the job is completed).
