From Diesel to Digital: How Text-to-Pay Clears Roadblocks in Heavy-Trucking Payments

May 19, 2025

Posted by Authvia | 2 Minute Read

Late-night repairs that wait for card approvals. Brokers chasing carriers for fuel advances. Warehouse invoices buried in overloaded inboxes.  In logistics, every stalled payment is a stalled truck, container, or pallet, and that means wasted revenue.

Authvia’s TXT2PAY® turns any message into a secure, two-tap checkout, eliminating payment friction from heavy-trucking, shipping, warehousing, and 3PL workflows.

Why Traditional Payment Flows Break Down on the Highway

  • Paper & PDF invoicing slows DSO and forces back-office staff to reconcile by hand.
  • Portal logins don’t work for drivers on the road or temp labor at the dock.
  • Faxed or phoned card numbers expose fleets to PCI risk and friendly fraud.
  • One-size payment rails can’t handle the mix of card, ACH, and wallet preferences across carriers, shippers, and fuel vendors.

The result: bottlenecks at every link in the supply chain, plus cash-flow gaps that squeeze margins.

TXT2PAY®: A Faster Road to Revenue

Supply-Chain HurdleTXT2PAY® Fix
Freight + Carrier SettlementsSMS or RCS link triggers instant payout, settling loads the same day.
Fuel & Lumper FeesDispatcher sends a secure text—driver pays in 60 s, dock gate lifts sooner.
Warehouse Rentals & StorageAutomated, scheduled SMS invoices replace paper and slash overdue balances.
Port & Customs DutiesQR code at terminal lets agents pay fees on the spot, moving containers faster.

All transactions ride Authvia’s PCI Level 1 tokenization, so no card data ever touches radios, tablets, or call-center recordings.

Omnichannel, Processor-Agnostic Flexibility

  • Text, email, or QR code; same link, same checkout.
  • Accept credit, debit, ACH, or stored wallets across 250+ processors, keeping your negotiated rates.
  • Card capture & token vault store payment details for future runs, rentals, or recurring storage.
  • Advanced reporting posts receipts back to your TMS, WMS, or ERP in real time.

Built for Every Mode of Transport

  • Fleets & Carriers digitize invoices, enable same-day pay, and keep trucks rolling.
  • Maritime & Port Operators automate cargo, dockage, and customs payments the moment containers clear.
  • Warehousing & Cold Storage text renters for monthly fees, reducing manual collections.
  • Air Cargo & Forwarders replace paperwork with in-thread payments that feed directly into airway-bill systems.
  • 3PLs bundle automated billing, approvals, and disbursements into one branded experience.

Business Impact You Can Measure

  • Eliminate payment delays: real-time invoicing accelerates cash flow.
  • Reduce manual workloads: automated reminders and approvals free staff for load planning.
  • Lower processing costs: multiple rails let you route volume to the cheapest option.
  • Enhance transparency: live dashboards show payment status, exceptions, and outstanding balances.
  • Shrink fraud & chargebacks: tokenized checkout plus optional ID verification tighten security.

Plug-and-Play Integration

Authvia connects through REST API, secure batch files, or simple webhooks, sliding into existing logistics platforms, ERPs, and accounting suites. Go live in weeks, not quarters, with no processor switch or app download required.

Keep Freight Moving, Not Waiting for Checks

Your operation already optimizes every mile and pallet. Don’t let outdated payment flows undo that efficiency.

TXT2PAY® replaces delays with two-tap payments, so trucks leave sooner, warehouses turn faster, and cash hits your account in hours, not weeks.
