Built for local and regional fleets

This page is for carriers running local delivery, drayage, and regional routes: businesses moving freight within a metro area or a multi-state region and getting home most nights. That is the kind of operation we focus on. Long-haul trucking has its own cash-flow pressures, but we do not promise funding for long-haul operations, and this page does not cover them.

Where peak season squeezes cash

For illustration: a 12-truck regional carrier

This is an illustration, not our terms. A regional carrier with 12 trucks deposits about $180,000 in a normal month. In October and November, it can book 30 percent more loads, but that means roughly $40,000 more in monthly fuel and driver costs up front, while the matching revenue arrives four to six weeks later. Without capital, the carrier turns loads down. With a planned amount sized to that gap, it runs the extra freight and repays as receivables come in.

What funders look at for carriers

About three months of business bank statements show the rhythm of broker and shipper payments. Funders weigh deposit consistency, average balance, existing truck notes or advances, and any NSFs in context. Time in business and FICO matter too; FICO 500+ is considered. No tax returns are required.

Apply before the peak

The application takes about 5 minutes and starts with a soft credit pull. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours, with funding provided through our partner Merchant Fund Express. Our program is built for established businesses doing $60K or more a month, and owner-operators running as sole proprietors can apply. Start your application in September, not mid-November.

Frequently Asked Questions
