Your factor works for you. Not the other way around.
Fees that grew after you signed. A reserve you cannot get a straight answer about. Funding that takes days when the contract said hours. Phone trees when you need a person. If any of that sounds like your week, you are not stuck. Switching factoring companies is a normal, well worn process, and carriers do it every day.
The Trucker Copilot network includes more than 100 vetted transportation factoring companies screened for fair terms and transparent fees. Tell us what went wrong and what you need, and we route your request to providers that compete for switching carriers instead of taking them for granted.

The complaints we hear most
Fee creep
The rate you signed is not the rate you pay once ACH fees, invoice fees, and monthly minimums stack up. Vetted providers put the whole fee schedule on the table before you sign.
Held reserves
Money that is yours, sitting in someone else's account, with vague answers about when it releases. A transparent reserve policy is a screening requirement in this network.
Slow funding
Same day on the website, three days in practice. Providers in the network state their real funding windows and are expected to hit them.
No service
When a broker shorts an invoice you need a person who knows your account, not a ticket number. Service quality is part of how providers stay in the network.
Switching questions, answered straight
Can I switch factoring companies while I have open invoices?
Yes. The new factoring company typically buys out your open invoices from the old one as part of the transition. The two factors handle the buyout between themselves once your release is in motion. Timing the switch to a slower week keeps you from being caught between funders.
What is a UCC release and why does it matter?
Your current factor holds a UCC filing on your receivables. A new provider cannot fund you until that filing is released or subordinated. Getting the release letter is usually the slowest step, so it pays to request it early and in writing.
Will I lose my reserve when I leave?
Your reserve belongs to you, minus whatever your agreement lets the factor net against it, such as open chargebacks or fees. Read the termination section of your agreement so you know what to expect back and when.
How long does switching actually take?
With a clean release and a responsive new provider, carriers commonly complete a switch in one to three weeks. Contract notice windows are the usual delay, which is why checking your termination clause now matters even if you plan to move later.
