Quick Pay vs. Apex Factoring with blynk™
We want fast. Sometimes fast isn’t fast enough, so we choose faster. That’s today’s society, gratification is expected at the speed of a click.
In trucking, where most carriers are lucky if they get paid in 30 days for hauling a load, having that money super-fast is a necessity instead of a luxury. Because steady cash flow keeps a small to medium-sized trucking company in business, not to mention helps it grow.
Today, truckers do have a choice. They can choose to get paid fast with a quick pay or the new blynk™ digital payment system for Apex Capital factoring clients. Confused about quick pay and blynk™? Let’s look at both and clear the air.
What is Quick Pay?
Quick pay, which might also be referred to as broker quick pay, is an advance on the load from the broker to the trucking company. In other words, a trucker hauls a load for a broker and chooses to get paid with quick pay, so that broker pays the trucker sooner than the average 30-90 day pay terms.
But in the quick pay world, sooner is a about a week. Sure, a week is certainly better than a month or three months, but it’s still not always that quick.
If a trucking company chooses to use quick pay from a freight broker, then the trucking company must haul that broker’s load. That’s part of the quick pay agreement. The broker then charges the trucking company a fee for using quick pay and that fee comes out of the total amount for hauling a load.
What if there’s a problem in the process of hauling the load, such as damage or late arrival? The broker may then choose to not pay the carrier. This leaves the carrier with few resources. Whereas, if the trucking company were to factor that load with Apex Capital, we would put our world-class customer service to work with the client to try to resolve any issues to help get them paid.
