U.S. Border Crossing Delays

The North American Free Trade Agreement was created to help expedite international trade between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. However, any trucker who has ever crossed an entry point understands the unpredictability of border delays. These delays can affect efficiency and business not only for individual truckers but also for the entire economy.

To keep your business running smoothly, consider enlisting the assistance of a trucking factor. Factors help ensure that your accounts receivable are paid when you need them, not weeks later. To learn more about truck factoring, contact TBS Factoring Service, LLC, at 800-207-7661.

Decreased Efficiency at Entry Points

At the present time, delays at border crossings for commercial vehicles are frequently caused by:

• Processing times to enter the United States. Entering the U.S. with a shipment from Mexico or Canada takes much longer than departing with a shipment.
• Number of open booths. The number of booths open at any time does not necessarily correlate with traffic demands or mobility concerns.

Any trucker who has crossed U.S. borders understands how unpredictable wait times can be. These waits can severely affect shipment and delivery times and therefore negatively affect business. However, officials are currently working to develop methods to accurately predict and reduce border crossing wait times for commercial drivers in order to help increase efficiency.

Waiting on payments from your business partners can seriously affect your productivity. For this reason, many trucking companies rely on the services of a truck factor. Truck factors buy your accounts receivable, providing you with the cash you need up-front, and then collect payments from your business partners at a later time.
