Fuel Advance Programs for Trucking Companies
Introducing a Simple Way for Truckers to Cover Fuel Costs
Fuel is the biggest expense for truckers by far. Filling up the tank is a costly hassle and trucking companies and owner-operators have no choice but to keep their fuel tanks full. Goods need to be moved across the country, and therefore trucking companies need a seamless way to keep trucks in operation.
Keep Trucks on the Road with Fuel Advances up to 50%
Unreliable cash flow is often part of the transportation business. Many shippers and brokers don’t offer quick-pays – and waiting 30, 45 or 60+ days to get paid may not be an option when trucking companies need to cover fuel and other expenses. Negative cash flow may force truckers to bypass higher paying loads (or settle for smaller hauls) because they don’t have enough cash for fuel.
Freight factoring companies provide an instant cash advance for freight bills. Fuel advance programs particularly benefit owner-operators and smaller fleets. When cash flow is tight, fuel advances provide instant cash to ensure trucking companies (and freight brokers) can take on more loads.

How Do Fuel Advances Work for Truckers?
With fuel advance programs, factoring companies will provide up to 50% of the freight bill amount upon pick up of the load.
The Freight Factoring Fuel Advance Process
- Your trucking company submits a rate sheet and bill of lading to the factoring company to verify that the load was picked up (documents sent via fax).
- The factor verifies the load and advances up to 50% . Fuel advances can be sent directly to your bank account or placed on your fuel card. Funding is received within a few short hours.
- You deliver the load & receive the remainder of your advance like usual.
