Every ride, one reconciliation.
- ★Invoicing & card-on-file billingSend invoices with pay links, store cards on file for repeat accounts, and automate recurring billing — so your A/R stops being a part-time job.
- ★Mobile payments in the fieldTap-to-pay on a phone, Bluetooth readers, and text-to-pay get you paid on-site instead of invoicing after the fact and waiting weeks to collect.
- ★Appointment & dispatch friendlyPayment tools that fit how service businesses actually run — deposits at booking, balances at completion, and card-on-file for standing appointments.
- ★Next-day or same day fundingFast funding smooths the cash-flow gap between doing the work and getting paid, so payroll and materials never wait on a slow settlement.
What It’s Really Like To Run A Transportation.
Your day starts with dispatch: trucks assigned, loads matched, drivers rolling before sunup. Whether you run charter buses out of Dallas, a courier fleet, or flatbeds hauling to the Permian, the math is the same — revenue per mile against fuel, insurance, and payroll that comes due every Friday whether shippers have paid or not. Detention time, lumper fees, and a breakdown outside Abilene all land on your desk. The wheels only make money when they’re turning, and the paperwork rides along in every cab.
Payments run 30 to 60 days behind the freight. Brokers pay slow, factoring takes its cut off the top, and fuel is due now. Charter deposits taken over the phone get keyed at penalty rates, and a canceled group trip can turn into a chargeback fight. Corporate shipper cards settle expensively without line-item data. Meanwhile drivers collecting COD or on-site payments have no clean way to take a card at the dock.
Factoring at 2-3% every 30 days compounds into one of the biggest line items in trucking — faster direct payment options shrink what you have to factor at all.
Where Payments Hurt
- ★Broker and shipper terms stretch 30-60 days while fuel is due today.
- ★Factoring fees take 2-3% off the top of already-thin per-mile margins.
- ★Phone-in charter deposits get keyed at penalty rates, then disputed on cancellations.
- ★Drivers can’t take cards at the dock, so COD becomes chase-the-check.
How Lone Star Fixes It
- ★ACH invoicing with Biller Genie reminders for shipper and broker billing — the cost math is in ACH vs. cards.
- ★Clover Go or SwipeSimple in every cab so drivers take cards at delivery — see the field payments guide.
- ★Level-2/3 data on corporate shipper cards, and text-to-pay links for charter deposits instead of keyed phone orders.
- ★Same day funding so completed runs fund tomorrow’s diesel.
Transportation Owners Ask Us
Can card payments really replace factoring?
Not entirely, but every shipper who pays an invoice by card or ACH in days instead of 45 is revenue you don’t factor. Some carriers offer a small dual-pricing discount for fast bank payment and cut their factored volume meaningfully.
How should I take charter bus deposits over the phone?
Send a payment link by text or email instead of keying the card. The customer enters their own details on a secure page, agrees to your cancellation terms at checkout, and you get better rates plus real evidence if they later dispute.
