You already know how Porter Freight Funding works. You factor your invoices, you get paid fast, and you keep your trucks moving. But did you know you can also get paid just for telling other truckers about us?
In This Article
Porter’s trucking referral program pays $300 for every carrier you refer who funds their first invoice. There are no limits on how many referrals you can submit, no caps on how much you can earn, and no complicated process to follow.
If you know truckers, you have earning potential. Here is exactly how the program works.
What Is a Funded Referral?
A funded referral is a carrier you send to Porter who completes onboarding and submits their first invoice for freight factoring. Once that invoice is funded, your $300 bonus is triggered.
You do not get paid just for submitting a name. The referral has to fund their first load. This ensures the truckers you refer are genuinely getting value from working with Porter.
Most carriers get set up and factor their first invoice within a few days. For a full walkthrough of the process, visit our freight factoring FAQs page.
Quick Answer: What Is a Trucking Referral Program?
A trucking referral program is a structured incentive offered by a freight factoring company that pays existing clients or partners a cash bonus when they refer a new carrier who becomes a funded customer. Porter Freight Funding pays $300 per funded referral with no limit on the number of referrals a person can submit.
Who Qualifies as a Referral?
Any carrier who is new to Porter Freight Funding qualifies. That includes:
- Owner-operators running their own authority
- Fleet owners looking for better cash flow
- Reefer, dry van, flatbed, and hot shot carriers
- New authorities just getting started
- Dispatchers referring carriers they work with — see our dispatching page for more
If they haul freight and are not already a Porter client, they qualify.
How to Submit a Referral to Porter
Submitting a referral takes less than two minutes. Porter only needs four pieces of information:
- Full name
- Company name
- Phone number
- Email address
You have two ways to submit:
- Online: Visit the Porter trucking referral program page and fill out the referral form.
- By email: Email sales@porterbilling.com with the referral’s name, company, phone number, and email address. The Porter team handles the rest.
Once submitted, Porter’s team contacts the carrier and walks them through onboarding. You do not have to sell anything. Just make the introduction.
Quick Answer: How Does a Trucking Referral Program Work?
Porter’s trucking referral program works in three steps: (1) You submit a referral with the carrier’s name, company, phone number, and email address. (2) Porter onboards the carrier and they factor their first invoice. (3) You receive a $300 cash bonus. There is no limit on the number of referrals you can submit.
No Limits, No Caps: How Much Can You Earn?
Every funded referral earns $300. There is no ceiling. Here is what that looks like in practice:
- Refer 3 truckers = $900
- Refer 5 truckers = $1,500
- Refer 10 truckers = $3,000
- Refer 20 truckers = $6,000
Dispatchers, fleet managers, and anyone with a large carrier network have a real opportunity to earn significant extra income. To understand the cash flow problems your referrals are solving, read our post on freight factoring benefits and why quick pay drains trucker profits.
