Transportation & Freight

Transportation & Freight Equipment Financing

Trucking is a titled-asset business with tight margins and heavy regulation. Requests move faster when the unit, its mileage, your authority status and the lanes or customers it will serve are described clearly.

Equipment we see most in trucking

Semi-trucks, trailers, vocational trucks and logistics fleets.

  • Dry van, reefer and flatbed trailers
  • Dump, mixer and vocational trucks
  • Box trucks and last-mile delivery vans
  • Car haulers and specialty trailers
  • Yard trucks and terminal tractors

Common financing use cases

Owner-operator first truck purchase

A first truck purchase is reviewed differently than a fleet addition. Describe your driving history and how you will source freight.

Fleet expansion

Adding units to an existing fleet lets you point to operating history, which is useful context for a reviewer.

Trailer-only purchases

Trailers are frequently financed independently of tractors and have their own documentation expectations.

Details that usually come up in review

  • Mileage and engine make/model are commonly requested for used tractors.
  • Operating authority age and safety history are relevant to many providers.
  • Titling, registration and lien perfection differ by state.
