Finding the Right Factoring Partner Can Make or Break Your Trucking Business
If you’ve ever had to wait 30, 60, or even 90 days to get paid for a load you’ve already delivered, you know how stressful trucking cash flow can be. The fuel bill is due now, your driver needs to be paid now, and repairs never wait for invoices to clear. That’s where factoring companies come in – but choosing the wrong one can cost you more than it helps.
This guide will show you exactly what to look for in a factoring company, explain why MJN Services is trusted by carriers, and help you see how the right partner keeps your wheels (and your business) moving.

What Freight Factoring Really Means for Truckers
Freight factoring is a financial service where you sell your unpaid invoices to a factoring company in exchange for immediate cash. Instead of waiting for your broker or shipper to pay, the factoring company advances you most of the invoice amount within 24 hours, then collects payment directly from your customer.
For truckers, this isn’t just about convenience. It’s about staying in business:
- Covering fuel costs without taking on high-interest loans
- Paying drivers on time, every time
- Taking on more loads without waiting for old ones to pay out
There are two main types:
- Recourse Factoring – Lower fees, but you buy back the invoice if the customer doesn’t pay.
- Non-Recourse Factoring – Higher fees, but the factoring company takes the loss if the customer defaults (with conditions).
How to Choose the Best Factoring Company for Your Needs
Picking the right factoring partner isn’t about finding the cheapest rate on paper. It’s about matching your operation’s needs to the right service model.
Here’s what to look at before you sign anything:
- Advance Rate – Look for high upfront payouts with transparent fees.
- Fee Structure – Understand if they charge flat fees or percentage rates.
- Payment Speed – Same-day funding keeps your trucks moving.
- Contract Terms – Flexibility is key for growing carriers.
- Additional Perks – Fuel cards, credit checks, TMS integrations.
- Customer Support – Reliable, responsive service makes a difference.
Key Benefits of Using a Factoring Company in the Trucking Industry
When you choose the right factoring partner, the advantages can be game-changing:
- Immediate Cash Flow – Keep your trucks fueled and your drivers paid without waiting on slow-paying brokers.
- Less Stress on Collections – We handle collections so you can focus on driving and booking loads.
- Better Business Stability – Avoid high-interest loans for operating costs.
- Growth Enablement – Take on more loads without tying up your cash.
Red Flags to Watch Out For Before You Sign a Contract
Before you commit to any factoring agreement, watch for:
- Long-term contracts with steep exit penalties
- Hidden fees for funding, transfers, or advances
- Low advance rates paired with high fees
- Poor customer service reviews
If something feels off during the sales process, trust your instincts and walk away.

I recently had the pleasure of working with MJN, and I can confidently say they exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and efficient—thanks in large part to Curt, who was our main point of contact. Curt was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. He made sure every detail of our flatbed load was handled with precision and care. His communication was clear and timely, and he proactively kept us updated throughout the entire shipment. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to ensuring everything runs seamlessly. The MJN team clearly values reliability and customer service. Our load was picked up and delivered on time, with no surprises or issues. It’s clear they work with a strong network of carriers and have a deep understanding of the logistics involved in flatbed transport. If you're looking for a trustworthy and professional brokerage to handle your freight, I highly recommend MJN—and be sure to ask for Curt. We’ll definitely be working with them again.
