The freight cash flow gap is brutal.
You pay carriers in 7-15 days. Shippers pay you in 30-60 days. Every load requires floating that gap—and your AR team can only touch a fraction of your invoices.
The timing mismatch
Carriers expect payment in 7-15 days. Shippers pay Net-30 to Net-60. You're funding operations out of thin margins while waiting for cash.
Accessorial charge disputes
Detention, TONU, reconsignment, liftgate fees. Shippers see them as "unexpected charges." You see unpaid invoices.
High volume, thin margins
15,000+ loads a year. 15% gross margin. Your AR team can't touch every invoice—so the ones that slip become write-offs.
Documentation delays
Missing BOL. Missing POD. Missing rate confirmation. Payment held until paperwork is complete.
