A new authority chooses a factor once. Whoever calls first usually keeps it.
A carrier that just received its MC number waits 30 to 45 days for its first invoice to pay. That is the week factoring gets chosen, and it is chosen roughly once. HAULVANE gives you the grant on the day the federal record shows it.
What ranks a carrier for factoring
These are the weights the scoring engine actually applies to this profile — not a description of them. Every signal is derived from a federal file and carries the date it changed.
| Signal | Weight | Why it means something to you |
|---|---|---|
| NEW_AUTH | +100 | New MC number granted. The whole profile is built around this one event. |
| FLEET_GROWTH | +62 | Units added — more invoices, more volume to factor. |
| MILEAGE_HIGH | +40 | High miles per unit. Revenue is already running. |
| DRIVER_GAP | +12 | More units than drivers — hiring, therefore growing. |
This profile is defined as much by what it refuses. A conditional rating scores −40, a suspension −35, a lapsed filing −25, anything dormant −70. Fleets over 60 units are dropped outright — they are not your customer.
What a row is worth
Annual fee at about 2.4% of roughly $185,000 per unit in factored volume.
Every row carries this estimate so the queue can be ranked by money rather than by recency. The model is stated openly in the scoring documentation — it is an estimate, and it is shown as one.
Questions
How quickly do new authorities appear?
The census updates near daily and the pipeline runs after it publishes, so a carrier granted authority is in the queue within a day of the federal record showing it.
Why score carriers with a bad safety rating negatively?
Because you are buying their receivable. The same event that makes a carrier a good insurance lead makes it a bad factoring risk, so the profile scores conditional ratings and suspensions heavily negative on purpose.
