Why trucking & logistics businesses need flexible funding

Trucking companies carry high fixed costs — fuel, insurance, maintenance and truck payments — while brokers and shippers often pay on 30 to 60 day terms. Pairing equipment financing for trucks with invoice factoring or a line of credit for operating costs is a common way to keep wheels turning.

Common challenges

  • Freight invoices paid on 30–60 day terms
  • Fuel and insurance costs that rise without notice
  • Unexpected breakdowns and repairs
  • Growing a fleet without draining cash

Trucking & Logistics funding FAQ

Can I finance a used truck?

Yes. Lenders finance used tractors and trailers; age, mileage and your time in business affect the down payment and rate.

Is freight factoring a good fit for small carriers?

Factoring is popular with small carriers because approval depends largely on the credit of the brokers and shippers you haul for.
