Call 2021 the Year of Getting Back to Basics
After the COVID-19 pandemic that defined 2020, we all did our best to move forward in 2021. In other words, we got back to basics. The same can be said for the trucking industry, which continued to bring us the goods we need to keep moving during a year burdened with supply chain challenges.
How did we get back to basics here with the Apex blog? We published a series of posts that offered tips and how-to instructions for emerging trucking company owners. For those already hauling on the highway, we explored inspections (planned and impromptu) to keep those rigs compliant.

Two New Products Launched in 2021
We are always working toward launching new products that make life easier and business more productive for our clients. In 2020, we introduced the blynk™ digital payment platform. Now we have two more new products to talk about.
- 24/7 Factoring – Truckers never stop hauling loads no matter if it’s the weekend, at night, or during holidays. So why should they have to wait to get funded? With 24/7 Factoring, Apex clients can get their funds in near real-time – anytime – outside of normal banking hours.
- Cardless Fueling – Never swipe a fuel card again when you pump diesel at TA®, Petro Stopping Centers®, or TA Express®. TCS Fuel, which is part of the Apex Capital family, introduced Cardless Fueling. Now you can easily and conveniently get diesel fuel discounts, digitally.
Make 2022 the year you stop waiting to get paid and your trucking company gets steady and reliable cash flow consistently. Don’t wait to factor your freight bills with Apex. Are you ready? Give us a call at 855-369-2739 or get started here.
