What is Quick Pay?

Broker Quick Pay is an accelerated payment program offered by some freight brokers that pays carriers in 1–5 days instead of the standard 30–90 days, in exchange for a fee of typically 2–4% of the invoice.

How it works

After delivering a load, the carrier submits the signed Bill of Lading and rate confirmation to the broker and opts into Quick Pay. The broker processes the payment within 1–5 business days, minus the Quick Pay fee.

Who uses it

Carriers working directly with brokers that offer Quick Pay programs and needing faster payment than the standard terms.

Why it matters

Quick Pay and factoring solve the same problem — slow broker payment — with different economics. Quick Pay fees are often lower than factoring fees but only work per broker, per load. Factoring covers every load regardless of the broker's program.

In Rig Terminal

Rig Terminal's 24-hour factoring works across all brokers and doesn't depend on the broker offering a Quick Pay program. For loads with cheap Quick Pay options, carriers can opt out of factoring on a per-load basis.
