WHO WE ARE

TransCredit was launched January 5, 1987 on the premise that parties in the transportation industry were unable to get rapid response to credit inquiries on shippers and brokers of freight.

Our founder had first hand experience of slow pay or non-payment from customers due to his tenure as a Regional Manager in the air cargo industry for eight years and then as President of an interstate & intrastate carrier for fourteen years.

The key to developing a crucial database that would benefit the transportation industry was focusing on how shippers were paying their carriers and brokers and in turn how brokers were paying the carrier.. This methodology became a “truth”, that you are most likely to be paid like businesses similar to your own.

Recognizing that the world of consumer finance revolved around a “credit score” that was used for making instant decisions on not only credit allowance, but insurance premiums, home mortgages and more. TransCredit turned to it’s formidable database and developed the Transportation Credit Score in 1997.

Today it remains the only true credit score for transportation related activity.

The Transportation Credit Score along with Days-To-Pay is now a part of every Credit Report available to our customers. What this means to you as a user of our services is that you can make those rapidly needed decisions for moving freight with the security you will be paid for your services.

In addition we provide Load Boards and Factoring Firms with large credit score files.

Since 2022 we have made Credit Reports available via API, even for a modest size user.
