Can You Have More Than One Factoring Company for Trucking?

Freight factoring is a key financial tool for truckers: it allows them to sell their invoices and get paid quickly. In this article, we explore whether truckers can work with more than one factoring company at a time. We’ll discuss the basics of freight factoring and consider the challenges of multiple factoring partnerships.

What is a Factoring Company?

A freight factoring company provides a financial service where truckers and shipping companies sell their invoices at a discount to receive immediate payment. This arrangement helps truckers manage their cashflow by allowing them to access funds quickly, rather than waiting for customers to pay within their standard terms, often taking 30 to 90 days. OTR Solutions offers True Non-Recourse Factoring services designed to ease the financial pressures that truckers face, providing them with quick access to cash so they can keep their trucks on the road without interruption.

Challenges of Multiple Factoring Relationships

Managing relationships with multiple factoring companies introduces many challenges that can complicate the financial operations of your trucking company. These complexities often caution truckers against engaging with more than one factor at a time.

UCC Filings Explained

 A Uniform Commercial Code-1 (UCC-1) filing is common practice among factoring companies. It secures a lien on a company’s receivables, establishing a legal claim to ensure payment. When more than one freight factoring company files a UCC-1 on the same receivables, it can complicate your financial operations and limit your flexibility in securing additional funding.

Risks of Conflicting Interests

When working with multiple factoring companies simultaneously, there’s a risk of conflicts arising. Each company competes for priority on your receivables, especially if there are issues with non-payment. This competition can strain relationships and disrupt the financial stability of your business.

UCC filings solidify a factoring company’s claim to your receivables and can negatively impact the possibility of securing outside funding. Overlapping filings makes it challenging for you to engage with multiple factors without risk of harming your financial and operational success.
