What is Commercial Truck Financing
 
Financing a commercial truck is similar in some ways to equipment financing. The truck secures the financing and serves as collateral for the loan. It’s common for commercial truck lenders to require a down payment (ranging anywhere from 0% to 25%), but it’s possible for the most qualified borrowers to get 100% financing.

Loan terms are typically equal to the useful life of the truck, which is typically 5 to 10 years. The purpose of matching the loan term to the life of the truck is to make sure you’re not still paying it off after it’s outlived its usefulness.

Banks and credit unions rarely offer commercial truck financing. There are, however, a number of alternative lenders that specialize in financing the purchase and leasing of commercial trucks for small businesses.

Trucking companies grow by taking on risks to expand and increase their revenue and bottom line. Thanks to commercial trucking loans, you can say “yes” when your cash flow would otherwise force you to say “no.” In other words, you don’t have to let expenses pile up, long gaps between compensation, or delays with payroll.

Cash flow shortages can make it difficult to retain high quality drivers and build loyalty.  This is one of the biggest challenges of trucking businesses. Commercial trucking business loans ensure that you’re always able to pay your employees on time, even when payments get delayed.  After all, a larger team allows you to take on larger trucking jobs.

Other Advantages

You don’t need entirely consistent cash flow, a substantial bank balance, or excellent personal credit to be approved. You can still get funded in a matter of days, even if the majority of your operating capital is spoken for.

For this reason, many logistic company owners take out small business loans during the slow season so they can maintain funds to prepare for their busy season.  In this case, we wouldn’t suggest a trucking loan that requires you to make a large payment soon after you received the funding.

Although there are many advantages to getting a commercial trucking loan, many small business owners don’t want to get themselves into too much debt.  As stated previously, receivables in the trucking industry can be inconsistent.  With so many factors out of your control, it’s therefore tough to predict how busy you will be.  Clearly, adding a loan payment to the mix might do more harm than good in some cases.

What if I have bad credit?

If your business credit or personal credit isn’t optimal, you may be ineligible for the best trucking SBA programs.  An SBA generally requires excellent credit because you’ll be receiving the best interest rate and loan terms up to 30 years. Some programs allow you to use real estate as collateral to help obtain the SBA loan as well.

Yes, even if you have another loan with a bank or lender, your business may still indeed be eligible.  As long as you have not defaulted, have a good payment history and underwriting determines that your business can afford to payback the loan, you can still qualify for a commercial trucking business loan.

Importantly, this will depend on what type of retail business loan you are applying for.  For example, an SBA loan is a lot harder to get approved for rather than an equipment financing loan.  However, here at TRAM Funding we offer a variety of loan options for you to choose from.  In addition to this, each type of retail store loan has different qualifications so that you can find the best solution that works for you.
