Creditsafe Unlocks Over $1 Trillion in Payment Data for SME Transportation & Logistics Firms in U.S.

Sets New Standard for Industry-Specific Payment Transparency & Risk Management

February 10, 2026; Allentown, PA – Small transportation and logistics companies are the backbone of the U.S. economy – seamlessly connecting manufacturers, distributors and consumers. But they often sit at the bottom of customers’ payment hierarchies, leaving them waiting several months for a single invoice to be paid – making cash flow management and business growth more difficult.

To help solve this problem, Creditsafe, the global expert in credit monitoring and risk management, has added over $1 trillion worth of payment data for the U.S. transportation and logistics industries, particularly focused on small factoring, trucking, freight, railroads and line haul operators and construction machinery companies. As a result, Creditsafe now has more data than any other credit monitoring provider on the payment viability, payment behaviors, risk scores, collections, bonds and insurance coverage of U.S. transportation and logistics companies and the businesses they work with.

New Enhanced Data That Is Now Available:

  • Government Data: Information provided via the Department of Transportation (DoT), such as broker licenses and insurance coverage
  • Payment History: Quarterly snapshot of payment history from the last 12-15 months
  • Detailed Trade: Detailed classifications indicating if trade payment data comes from a 3PL (third party logistics), LTL (less than truckload), factoring and more
  • Risk Scores: Industry-specific risk scores showing the payment viability of transportation and logistics companies
  • Days to Pay: The weighted average number of days that invoices are paid past the invoice issue date  
  • Alerts: Alerts reported by data contributors including collections, payment plans and more 
  • Collections: Total amount that is in collections and repayment plans that have been set up

Where New Enhanced Data Comes From:

  • The added $1 trillion worth of payment data comes through our strategic partnership with Equifax, which acquired Ansonia Credit Data in July 2020.

How to Access New Enhanced Data:

  • The new enhanced data is now live and available within Creditsafe’s U.S. business credit reports.
  • Creditsafe plans to make this enhanced data available in Canadian and Mexican business credit reports in 2026.

Steve Carpenter, Chief Operating Officer for North America at Creditsafe, explains: “This is a pivotal development for Creditsafe. We know small transportation and logistics companies are struggling with rising operational costs, supply chain disruptions and cash flow issues. With so much already stacked against them, we want to give them a fighting chance of competing with bigger businesses, while also helping them make the right decisions about which customers are viable to work with, and which ones would drain them financially in the long run.”
