“I used to get home at midnight on Fridays and stay up until 6 a.m. doing invoicing, getting everything ready to send in to my debtors so I could get paid. Now, I don’t have to do anything. All of that work I used to do is gone. I haul the load, it takes me three minutes to forward the rate con and BOL to altLINE, then I’m done. The time and the money factoring saves me is amazing.”

Common Questions
Freight factoring FAQs
What is freight factoring?
Freight factoring is a type of alternative financing in which a carrier sells its unpaid invoices to a factoring company at a discount in exchange for a cash advance, allowing trucking business owners to access the cash they are owed in a matter of hours, instead of weeks. The carrier can then use the money to cover expenses like fuel, payroll, and insurance while the factoring company collects the invoice payment on the carrier’s behalf.
How much does freight factoring cost?
Costs vary based on your monthly invoice volume, creditworthiness of your customers, and average invoice aging. altLINE offers competitive, transparent pricing with no fee to apply.
Is freight factoring a loan?
No. You’re selling an invoice that you’ve already earned in exchange for immediate cash. It does not add debt to your balance sheet the way a loan would.
How fast is the approval process?
Most applications are reviewed within 48 hours, though the time to approval can vary based on how long it takes you to submit the required documents. Once the contract is signed, you will be able to submit your first load for funding.
Is there a minimum credit score required?
No. altLINE does not require a minimum credit score to be approved.
