Get paid per load without waiting on the mail

Freight carriers, brokers and logistics companies can collect from shippers and other business customers by check draft: the customer approves each load's invoice, or approves once up to a cap, and the carrier or broker prints the draft and deposits it the day it's approved.

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.

Which authorization fits best?

For regular shippers, a blanket authorization once per invoice with a cap per load. For occasional customers, a one-time approval per invoice.

Each draft under a blanket authorization emails the customer a notice with the amount.

What does a typical week look like with DraftPay?

  1. 1

    Drop in the invoice or check

    Quick Draft reads the payer, bank details and amount, and matches the customer you already have.

  2. 2

    Your customer approves

    From an emailed link, or not at all under a blanket authorization or one you already have on file.

  3. 3

    Print the drafts together

    Approved drafts wait in your print queue. Print them in one batch on blank check stock.

  4. 4

    Deposit and move on

    Deposit them at your own bank. Every draft keeps its signed record.

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.
