How trucking companies end up with more than one advance

At Merchant Fund Express, we publish the terms and thresholds behind this page so you can check your own numbers before you apply.

A common trucking sequence: fuel and driver settlements ran ahead of a slow-paying broker, so an advance covered two weeks; then a second covered the first. The daily debits arrive every morning while the broker pays in 45 days.

In plain terms: an advance taken to cover fuel and settlements while a broker paid late, then a second to cover the first.

What can be done

First and second position are both funded. Existing positions with a balance of $100,000 or less can be bought out into a weekly-payment term loan or a line of credit, and a line of credit up to $350,000 can sit in second position behind an existing advance. Up to two current positions fit the written guidelines, and some agreements restrict new financing, so read yours first. See MCA refinance and second position funding.

Daily versus weekly, on a trucking company numbers

An illustration, not an offer. Say a trucking company with about $120,000 in monthly revenue has a remaining advance balance of $56,000, being collected over about 60 business days:

Item	Illustration
Daily debit (60 business days)	$933
Debited in a 21-day month	$19,600 (16% of monthly revenue)
The same balance as a weekly payment over about 9 weeks	$6,222
Terms of a new schedule	Set in your offer; a lower payment over a longer term is the goal

Common questions

Can a trucking company get more funding while carrying an advance?

Often. Carriers with several brokers and consistent deposits can fit two positions under the written guidelines. A single broker that dominates deposits is read more cautiously. Merchant Fund Express shows the exact amount, schedule and total cost in your offer before you sign.

Can an existing advance be bought out?

Where your file and your agreement allow it, balances of $100,000 or less can be bought out into a weekly-payment term loan or line of credit.

Second position or a renewal?

Second position is a new agreement behind the existing one, so you make both payments. A renewal is more funding from the funder you already have, with one payment.
