Trucking & freight collections · Irving, TX
When a Irving trucking & freight customer stops paying, most collectors send three letters and close the file. We do not. We recover unpaid trucking & freight invoices throughout North Texas using the leverage that actually moves these accounts — and you pay nothing unless we collect.
Irving businesses across North Texas run up unpaid trucking & freight invoices like everywhere else, and many creditors write them off rather than chase them across the state. We do not. We pursue trucking & freight accounts in Irving with the same work we bring to the major metros: research first, then contact, then enforcement through counsel. An unpaid invoice does not become uncollectible just because the customer stopped paying and stopped calling back.
When a freight broker stops paying, the surety bond is the first question. An FMCSA-licensed property broker or freight forwarder must maintain $75,000 of financial security under 49 U.S.C. § 13906 — but that is a single bond shared pro rata among everyone who claims against it, not a guaranteed payout per carrier, and it runs out. Speed matters more here than almost anywhere else, and so does knowing whether the entity on the rate confirmation is the one that actually holds the authority.
A suit on a Irving account is filed in Dallas County, with the Dallas County District Clerk. The courthouse is in Dallas, the county seat — worth knowing before someone drives to the wrong city with a filing. Dallas County runs 13 district courts hearing civil matters and 5 statutory county courts at law. Its courts at law carry their own civil reach, set by the county's own statute rather than the general rule: No dollar ceiling — a Dallas County court at law has concurrent jurisdiction with the district court in civil cases regardless of the amount in controversy (Tex. Gov’t Code § 25.0592(a)). An abstract of judgment is recorded county by county, so Dallas County is where a Irving judgment first attaches to real property. Most commercial accounts resolve long before any of that, and we are a collection agency rather than a law firm — but knowing where the account would land is part of deciding whether pursuing it is worth your money.
Irving is about 0.3 hours from our Dallas office, so putting someone at a debtor's place of business is a normal part of working the account.

FAQ
Yes. We pursue trucking & freight accounts throughout Irving and North Texas, and nationwide through a network of licensed collection attorneys. There is no upfront cost — we work on contingency, and the fee is agreed before you place anything.
Stop calling and start documenting. Pull the invoices, the contract or purchase order, proof of delivery or acceptance, and the exact legal entity name of the debtor — not the trade name. Then check which deadline governs the account, because the leverage in this trade runs on a short clock. Silence usually means the debtor has decided you are not a priority, which is a different problem from inability to pay and is solved differently.
In Dallas County, with the Dallas County District Clerk. Which court depends on the amount and the relief sought, and that is the filing attorney's decision. Below the district and county courts, a justice court anywhere in Texas handles claims up to $20,000 (Tex. Gov't Code § 27.031) — the same ceiling in all 254 counties, not a local rule.
As soon as it is clearly past due rather than merely late. Commercial debt gets harder to collect as it ages — the trail goes cold, people leave, and entities dissolve. The expensive mistake is almost never acting too early.
No. We take commercial accounts only — money one business owes another. That is why the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which governs consumer debt, generally does not reach this work. If the person who owes you is an individual consumer, we are not the right agency and we will tell you so.
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — no retainer, no monthly minimum, and a fee charged only against funds actually recovered. The fee is agreed before you place anything.
Tell us what you're owed and we'll tell you exactly how we'd go after it. The review is free, and you pay nothing unless we collect.
