Freight factoring in Canada, city by city

You delivered the load; the broker pays in 45 days; fuel and payroll are due now. Freight factoring turns a delivered load into cash the next business day, so Canadian carriers and owner-operators stop financing their brokers.

How it works

From delivered load to cash, in four steps.

  1. Step 01

    Deliver the load

    Fuel, permits, and the driver are already paid before any receivable exists. The work is done; the money is not.

  2. Step 02

    Submit rate con + POD

    The rate confirmation, proof of delivery, and invoice become the file a factor reviews — usually the same day.

  3. Step 03

    Get advanced

    The factor advances most of the freight bill, often up to 90%, so the money from today's load fuels tomorrow's.

  4. Step 04

    Broker pays the factor

    When the broker or shipper pays on their terms, the reserve is released to you, minus the factoring fee.

Common questions

Freight factoring, answered.

What is freight factoring?

Freight factoring is how a carrier gets paid faster: instead of waiting 30–90 days for a broker or shipper to pay, the carrier sells the freight invoice to a factor and receives most of the value — often up to 90% — within a day, then the factor collects from the customer.

How is it different from a business loan?

Factoring is not debt. You are selling a receivable you already earned, so it scales with your loads and does not add a loan to your balance sheet. A working-capital loan or line of credit covers costs that do not have a delivered freight invoice behind them.

Can a new carrier or owner-operator use it?

Usually, yes — it is especially common for new authorities and owner-operators, because the factor underwrites the broker's or shipper's credit rather than your time in business.
