Cash flow can make or break a carrier, especially when you deliver today and get paid 30 to 60 days later. We sit down with Andy Jones, Director of Partnerships at Single Point Capital, to unpack a practical, step-by-step playbook for staying solvent, cutting fuel spend, and navigating contracts without the gotchas that sink new authorities and small fleets.

First, we demystify factoring: how to turn a rate confirmation, bill of lading, and POD into funds within 24 hours, why notices of assignment matter, and what slows down funding. Andy lays out the real difference between recourse and non-recourse and explains why “true non-recourse” is more marketing than reality. You’ll learn how to avoid chargebacks, handle short pays, and use a broker credit check like a shield against fraud, double brokering, and failing payers.

We also talk strategy. Tiered rates tied to monthly volume that reward growth. Contracts that don’t trap you with hidden fees or surprise termination windows. The UCC minefield—and how an application alone can lock you out of better options. Then we move to fuel, where a live-pricing discount network across TA and thousands of regional stops can save 45 to 48 cents per gallon on average. We focus on the only number that matters: the final price at the pump, and how route-based tools help drivers pick the right station and keep more per mile.

Rounding it out, Andy explains how Single Point’s logistics arm prioritizes factoring clients for heavy haul and specialized freight, a lifeline for new authorities facing broker age limits. We cover onboarding with no personal credit checks for factoring, dedicated account reps who actually answer the phone, and optional insurance with down payment assistance for those who need a hand. It’s a candid, tool-filled conversation built for owner-operators, small fleets, and anyone planning to go independent.
