How do freight and logistics companies usually get paid?
Shippers and brokers often pay by check on their own terms, while fuel, drivers and equipment have to be paid now.
Getting paid faster usually means a quick-pay discount or a factoring fee.
Where do check drafts help?
- Per-load invoices to regular shippers.
- Monthly statements to business customers.
- Customers who pay by check and won't use a payment portal.
- Collecting a past-due balance today.

Common questions
Is a check draft cheaper than factoring?
There's no percentage fee: DraftPay is a flat monthly price, and you deposit at your own bank. Unlike factoring, you're collecting the payment yourself, with your customer's approval.
Can I approve drafts from my phone?
Yes. DraftPay works in your phone's browser, and Quick Draft can read a photo of a check or invoice.
