What is Freight Factoring?

Freight factoring is the process of selling unpaid invoices to a third-party company in exchange for immediate payment.

This can be a helpful way for trucking companies to improve their cash flow, as it allows them to receive compensation for their services more quickly. In many cases, factoring companies will advance up to 90% of the invoice value within 24 hours, meaning that truckers can get paid almost immediately after completing a delivery.

If you’re looking for a factoring company that can advance that much of the invoice that quickly then look no further than OTR Solutions and our solution BOLT which allows you to get paid instantly.

What does OTR Solutions offer?

Freight factoring companies come in all shapes and sizes. Here is the OTR difference:

Powerhouse Partnerships

DAT Freight & Analytics

Factoring for freight drivers isn’t complete without a way to easily find loads. Originally referred to as Dial-A-Truck, DAT Freight and Analytics is known for having created the industry’s first electronic load board back in 1978 in Portland, Oregon, overhauling the old-school system of pinning index cards to bulletin boards. With access to more than 249 million loads posted annually, this powerhouse partnership is excellent for locating the right loads at the right prices, no matter where you are.

Equinox Owner Operator Solutions

Freight drivers are always on the go, which means there is not much time to deal with their taxes and accounting. Our partnering with Equinox, a team of Certified Public Accountants, is the worry-free solution for always knowing where your business stands financially. 

Freedom Leasing

In this business, you often need equipment like road-ready dry vans, flatbeds, reefers, box trucks, and storage trailers – and you don’t always have the capital to invest in purchasing such expensive equipment. This is where our partnership with Freedom Leasing comes in extra handy. While OTR Solutions is bolstering your cash flow through invoice factoring, Freedom Leasing is giving you the flexibility to lease equipment instead of applying for long-term, restrictive bank loans.
