Why this exists

Why the usual lenders say no.

Your revenue is real. The problem is the form. Here is why traditional underwriting turns away healthy operators in this space, and what we do differently.

01

Older equipment age

Banks reject older trucks because of perceived resale value risk.

We work with lenders who value the truck's earning potential rather than just the model year.
02

Recent credit dips

Standard banks flag credit dips from personal issues immediately.

We evaluate your current hauling revenue and business bank statements as primary indicators.
03

New authority status

Lenders often require two years of operating history for standard loans.

We connect startups with asset-based lenders who fund new ventures based on equipment equity.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked.

Lenders focusing on the trucking industry prioritize the asset's value and your daily gross income over your personal FICO score. You can often secure financing with a score as low as 550 provided you have consistent hauling history and at least 3 months in business.
