Many freight businesses struggle with cash flow because the money goes out long before it comes in. Carriers pay for fuel, maintenance, and driver wages upfront, yet shippers and brokers often take 30–60 days—or longer—to pay invoices. Add in delays, paperwork errors, and unpredictable rate changes, and even a profitable business can end up short on working capital. The fix starts with visibility: tracking every invoice and payment status in real time, setting clear payment terms, and automating follow-ups. When cash flow is managed with precision instead of guesswork, freight operators can stop chasing payments and start planning growth.
