Stop waiting 30+ days to get paid. Discover how invoice factoring helps truckers unlock fast cash flow and grow with confidence.

The Cash Flow Crisis No One Talks About

If you’re a trucking company or an owner-operator hauling freight across Ohio—or anywhere in the U.S.—you’ve probably faced this:
You deliver the load, invoice the broker… and then wait.
30, 45, even 60 days to get paid.

Meanwhile, fuel, payroll, insurance, and maintenance bills keep rolling in like clockwork.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone — and there’s a smarter way forward.


The Trap: Delayed Broker Payments Are Crushing Small Fleets

Trucking companies operate in one of the toughest cash flow environments in business. Most brokers and shippers use NET-30 to NET-45 terms, which means you’re fronting the cost of every load you deliver.

Here’s what that does to your business:

  • Stalls your growth – You can’t take on more loads if you can’t afford the fuel.
  • Raises your stress – Scrambling to cover costs while your money is tied up.
  • Puts your company at risk – Late vendor payments, damaged credit, and missed opportunities.

And bank loans?
Too slow. Too much paperwork. Too many rejections.


The Fix: Truck Invoice Factoring—Cash Flow on Your Terms

What if you could get paid within 24 hours of delivering a load — without taking on debt?

That’s what invoice factoring offers.

At Legacy 1 Funding, we specialize in freight factoring for truckers just like you. Here’s how it works:

  1. You deliver the load.
  2. We buy your invoice.
  3. You get up to 95% of the cash upfront — fast.

No loans. No interest. Just consistent cash flow.
