Flexible Payment Options Available

Cash flow is an important function in any business. With our vendors in mind, Mode Transportation Services offers an expedited payment program for our carriers to help improve their account receivables.

Our carriers can choose to participate in one of three options and receive their payments in 3, 5 or 10 days via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer.) These options are:

  • 3 Day Payment: A 4.75% discount will be deducted from the invoice
  • 5 Day Payment: A 3% discount will be deducted from the invoice
  • 10 Day Payment: A 2% discount will be deducted from the invoice

The 3-5-10 program allows for business days only, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Mode Transportation Holidays. Program terms and rates are subject to change without prior notice and subject to the contract terms.

If you are interested, please email carriers@modetransportation.com and someone will be in contact with you to set up your preferred method of payment.
