Cargo leaves once
it is paid for.
FreightReserve calculates storage and handling charges, takes secure payment online before pickup, and only releases cargo once it is settled. No chasing invoices, no cash at the counter, no surprise disputes.
Release before payment
is money lost.
Once cargo leaves the site, the leverage to collect goes with it. Releasing on a promise to pay means chasing invoices, carrying bad debt and handling cash and disputes at a busy counter.
Chasing invoices
Cargo gone on credit turns into weeks of follow-up to get charges paid.
Bad debt builds
Some of what leaves unpaid is never recovered and written off.
Cash at the counter
Handling cash and card payments at pickup is slow, risky and hard to reconcile.
Charge disputes
Arguing charges at the counter holds up the queue and sours the relationship.
No clean reconciliation
Matching payments to releases by hand at month end is slow and error-prone.
Calculated, paid,
then released.
Payment becomes part of the collection flow, so cargo never leaves on a promise.
