Who this page is for

This page is for local and regional carriers: final-mile delivery, regional distribution runs, drayage around ports and rail yards, and dedicated routes within a few states. We focus on established operations doing $60K or more a month in deposits. Funding is provided through our partner Merchant Fund Express, from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

Long-haul, over-the-road operations are a different picture, and we cannot promise funding for them. If that is your business, you can still read on for the cash-flow side, but this page is written for regional fleets.

Where peak season drains the account

Busy season can leave you shorter on cash than a slow one, simply because you front more costs.

More background on fleets: funding for regional trucking.

For illustration: a final-mile fleet

For illustration only, not our terms. A final-mile carrier with 14 box trucks deposits about $180K a month and picks up a retailer's holiday overflow contract. Volume jumps 40 percent for ten weeks, but the retailer pays on net-45 terms. The owner uses working capital to cover fuel, temp drivers and two rental trucks so the contract runs clean, then repays from the higher deposits that follow.

What the review looks at

About three months of business bank statements, focusing on steady deposits from shippers and brokers, average balances, NSFs and any existing advances. No tax returns. FICO 500+ is considered, so a bank turning you down over credit is not the end. Sole proprietors and owner-operators running local routes can apply.

Apply before volume peaks

The application takes 5 minutes and starts with a soft credit pull. Decisions move fast, and for qualified businesses funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours. Credit repair is a separate service and is not required to apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you fund long-haul trucking companies?

We cannot promise funding for long-haul operations. This program is aimed at local and regional carriers.

Can I use funding for fuel?

Yes. Fuel is a common use of working capital for regional fleets.

Brokers pay me late. Does that hurt my file?

Funders read your deposits as they actually arrive. Steady broker and shipper payments over three months read well even on longer terms.

Can I finance an added truck for peak season?

Equipment financing is tied to the specific vehicle or trailer and can work for regional fleets.

How soon should I apply before peak?

A few weeks ahead is best, so the money is in place before fuel and payroll costs climb.

Fuel float $22,000.00
Tire and repair $13,400.00
Driver payroll $31,000.00
Trailer lease $16,750.00
