At Transport Clearings East, Inc. (TCE), we’ve always believed that truckers and carriers deserve financial partners who understand their world — not companies that take advantage of it. We were founded on a simple idea: keep truckers moving by keeping their cash flow steady. Since 1958, that mission has never changed.
We’re more than a factoring company — we’re a member-owned cooperative built by and for the transportation industry. Every service we offer, every decision we make, and every policy we uphold is designed to strengthen our members’ businesses and protect their long-term success.
When you call TCE, you’re not routed to an outsourced service center or a generic help desk. You reach a team that knows this industry inside and out.
Many of us have spent years working in logistics and finance for carriers. We know that delayed payments are difficult to our members. We can appreciate the weight of overhead, fuel prices, and long routes.
That’s why we respond with empathy, speed, and accuracy. Because when our members succeed, we all move forward.”
Joining TCE means becoming part of a financial network built on shared values. Our cooperative structure gives every member a voice and a stake in the organization’s success. Our Board of Directors is made up of active professionals in the trucking industry — not outsiders or financial executives. They know what it’s like to manage loads, fuel costs, and long hours on the road, and they guide our operations with that firsthand perspective.
When you’re a member, you get:
TCE exists to give carriers financial stability in an industry that never stops moving. We know that unpredictable payment cycles can make it hard to stay ahead — that’s why we offer fast, reliable funding and transparent terms without hidden costs or complicated contracts.
As a cooperative, we operate differently from traditional factoring companies. We don’t answer to investors or private equity firms. We answer to our members.
Our profits are reinvested to improve services, strengthen benefits, and support the community of truckers who keep this cooperative alive. That’s what makes TCE stand apart — we exist to serve, not to sell.
The transportation industry is evolving faster than ever — and TCE is evolving with it. Our mission is to keep our cooperative strong, stable, and ready for the next generation of truckers.
We’re investing in better systems, expanding our services, and continuing to operate with the same ethics that built this organization from the ground up.
Our promise is simple:
We’ll keep supporting the people who keep America moving.
If you’re looking for a financial partner that values fairness, transparency, and long-term relationships, TCE is where you belong.
We’re proud to serve the trucking community — and we’d be honored to serve you next.
