Trucking financing matched to every mile
Every load you haul has a cash gap behind it. Match the funding to the gap, and the truck pays for itself.
| Your goal | Best-fit funding | What you gain |
|---|---|---|
| Buy or upgrade tractors, trailers and reefers | Equipment financing | The truck typically secures the deal, so your cash stays free for operations |
| Get paid on delivered loads now | Freight factoring | Turn broker and shipper invoices into cash instead of waiting 30 to 90 days |
| Cover fuel, tires, repairs and insurance | Business line of credit | Draw what you need between settlements; repaid funds generally become available again |
| Add trucks, drivers or a new lane | Term loan | One lump sum with predictable payments to fund growth |
| Buy a yard, terminal or shop | Commercial real estate loan or SBA 504 | Long terms built for long-life assets |

Freight runs on trucks. Your cash flow should too.
Demand is not the problem. What squeezes carriers is timing: fuel, tires and drivers get paid this week while freight bills pay next month. The carriers that grow are the ones that close that gap on their terms.
The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate a quarter point on September 16, 2026, to a 3.75%–4.00% range, and the bank prime rate, which many variable-rate business lines of credit track, stands at 7.00%. Locking a fixed equipment payment now protects your margin per mile if borrowing costs keep climbing.
What funding providers look for in a carrier
No single number decides. Strong carriers show a consistent story across four areas:
Time in business & authority
How long you have operated and held your authority. Newer owner-operators often start with equipment financing.
Revenue & settlements
Consistent monthly deposits and settlement history show you can carry the payment.
The equipment
Year, mileage and value of the truck or trailer, which typically serves as collateral.
Credit & existing debt
Personal and business credit plus current obligations: one factor, not the whole story.
