Industry insight: The average small trucking company waits 42 days to get paid on a freight invoice yet fuel, insurance, and driver wages are due weekly. That gap is where most cash flow problems start.

Funding Solutions

Three funding tools every
logistics operator should know

Each product is structured differently. The right one depends on where your cash flow pressure is coming from.

02

Equipment Finance

Acquire trucks, trailers, refrigerated units, and heavy equipment without draining operating capital. Structure repayments around your revenue cycle and preserve cash for day to day operations.

Best for
  • Fleet expansion or replacement
  • New contract requiring new assets
  • Owner operators buying their first truck
Key benefit
  • Asset backed, easier to qualify
  • Structured repayments, not a lump sum
  • Preserve working capital for operations

Best for
  • Seasonal revenue gaps
  • Covering fuel & driver payroll
  • Bridging between invoice payments
Key benefit
  • Fast access โ€” funds in days
  • Flexible use across operations
  • Keeps trucks moving without delays

Funding Assessment

What to expect on
your assessment

A funding assessment for a trucking or logistics business is not the same as a bank loan application. Here is what we actually look at and what we do not.

Revenue consistency
Monthly load volume and freight billing history over 3 to 6 months
Customer / broker quality
Who you're hauling for and their payment reliability

Perfect credit score
Business performance matters more than a number

The cash flow reality of
running a trucking business

01

The 42 day gap problem

The average freight invoice takes 42 days to be paid. Fuel cards, driver wages, insurance renewals, and maintenance do not wait 42 days. This structural mismatch is the single biggest cash flow challenge in the industry and it affects owner operators and mid size fleets equally.

42 day average payment gap
02

Fuel is your biggest variable cost

Diesel prices can swing 20 to 30 percent in a single quarter. For a fleet running 100,000 or more miles a month, that is tens of thousands in unplanned costs. Working capital access is not a luxury. It is what separates operators who adapt quickly from those who cannot take on new loads.

30% potential fuel cost swing per quarter
03

Equipment age affects your rate

Older trucks mean higher maintenance costs, more downtime, and in some cases, restricted access to premium freight lanes. Operators who finance equipment upgrades on a structured cycle rather than running assets into the ground typically maintain stronger margins and better broker relationships.

15% avg maintenance cost increase per year on aging fleet
04

Broker dependency is a real risk

Many small trucking companies rely on 2 to 3 brokers for most of their loads. When those relationships slow down or a broker delays payment, the whole operation feels it. Receivables funding reduces dependence on any single customer's payment timeline and smooths the income cycle.

68% of small fleets rely on 3 or fewer brokers
