Accounts Receivable
Every day an invoice sits unpaid is working capital you can't deploy. ClearLane runs the AR desk for freight brokers, 3PLs, and trucking companies: monitoring aging, following up on a set cadence, and resolving disputes before they turn into write-offs.

DSO Reduction
Reporting
AR management is more than sending invoices. It is making sure every invoice goes out clean, gets followed up on a schedule, and gets collected before it ages into a write-off. The gap usually opens in three places. Invoices wait because a POD or a piece of paperwork is missing. Follow-up happens only when someone on the team remembers to chase it. Short-pays and disputes sit untouched while the clock keeps running.
Industry data puts average freight DSO somewhere around 50 days, and each of those gaps pushes the number higher. None of them fix themselves.
We map your current AR process, aging profile, and customer mix to see where cash is getting stuck.
We connect to your existing TMS and accounting system. No migration, no new platform to learn.
Your dedicated team runs the cadence every day: monitor aging, follow up, resolve disputes, apply cash, and report.
Volume grows without adding headcount to your billing desk. The desk just keeps pace.
Lower DSO is working capital you get back. Pulling ten days out of a 55-day cycle on a few million dollars of monthly billing frees real liquidity, money you can put toward carriers, payroll, or growth instead of waiting on it. Fewer write-offs means more of what you already earned actually lands in the bank.

DSO drops when two things happen consistently: invoices go out clean and follow-up never slips. A managed AR desk works every open invoice on a set schedule rather than only chasing the loudest customers. Short-pays get escalated quickly, disputes get worked before they age, and cash gets applied accurately so your aging report reflects reality. Over a few cycles, that steady discipline pulls payment closer to terms instead of 20 or 30 days past.
Industry data generally places freight and logistics DSO somewhere in the 45 to 65 day range, though the real number depends on your customer mix, payment terms, and billing accuracy. Brokers with clean invoicing and consistent follow-up tend to sit at the lower end, while those waiting on paperwork or chasing payments ad hoc drift higher. The DSO calculator gives you your own figure so you can see where you actually land. For broader cross-industry benchmarks, see Credit Pulse 2025 DSO data.
No. ClearLane works inside the systems you already use, including McLeod, TMW, Aljex, and others. There is no migration, no data move, and no new platform for your team to learn. We adapt to your workflow rather than asking you to change it.
A single in-house hire gives you one person’s capacity, one person’s coverage, and a gap every time they are out or move on. A dedicated AR team gives you consistent follow-up, dispute handling, cash application, and reporting that does not pause for vacations or turnover. You also skip the cost and time of recruiting, training, and managing the role, and you can scale the coverage up as your volume grows.
