Trust Alliance Capital is a 22-year-old commercial equipment finance company. When your bank or the dealership's finance company declines your equipment loan, we have the program that fits. We give you options.
Most tow truck buyers in Florida run into the same wall: the dealership's finance company turns them down for one reason — time in business, credit profile, age of equipment, prior BK. The bank takes weeks and asks for paperwork that isn't relevant. The deal dies on a technicality, not because the customer can't afford the equipment.
That's our business. We've spent 22 years building programs for the deals other lenders can't fit. Across every credit tier. Strong credit usually gets zero down. Lower credit usually gets a higher down payment. We're flexible enough to handle every scenario.
No one bank beats our flexibility.

How much down do you need for a tow truck in Florida?
Depends on your credit, how long the towing operation has been running, and whether you're buying a rollback, an integrated wrecker, or a heavy-duty rotator. Here's how we're placing tow-truck deals in Florida right now:
$0 down (zero down) — 700+ credit, 2+ years in a licensed towing operation, and at least 12 months of prior commercial borrowing history (24 months preferred). Manufacturer finance and top-tier programs. Most common on newer Jerr-Dan and Century units.
10% down — 700+ credit and 2+ years in the towing business, but no prior commercial borrowing yet. Homeownership preferred. Programs built for operators establishing business credit on their first financed unit.
20% down — 625–700 credit with time in business. Common bucket — a lot of established Florida towing deals fall between 10% and 20% down.
25%–40% down — Below 625 credit, credit with issues showing, or higher-mileage used trucks within our age cap (tow trucks 8 years or newer). Still fundable — we structure through programs designed for these files.
Call (801) 332-9756 and in three minutes we'll tell you which bucket your file lands in.
Startup tow truck financing in Florida
Getting your first rollback or wrecker is a specific lending profile — often a driver with 2+ years at an established shop going independent, or a body-shop or auto-yard adding towing service. The pattern we place most in Florida: rollback (Jerr-Dan Steel 6-Ton or Century 12-Series) at $60K–$90K, personal credit above 620, homeownership preferred, and 25% or more down — the lender needs to see real money in the deal on a brand-new towing operation. Bring the experience, the credit, and the down payment and first-time towing operators fund inside a week from a complete app.
Heavy-duty and rotator tow truck financing in Florida
25-ton and 35-ton integrated wreckers, plus 40-, 50-, 60-, and 75-ton rotators — Century, NRC, Miller Industries, Jerr-Dan. Rotator deals ($400K–$800K new) run full-financials underwriting on established towing companies; smaller heavy-duty wreckers app-only on the right profile. Florida operators running highway recovery contracts and commercial towing need the equipment; we structure the deal to fit the credit and cash reserves.
Used tow truck financing in Florida
Used rollbacks (Freightliner M2, International MV chassis with Jerr-Dan or Century bodies) and used wreckers are the biggest bucket of Florida tow-truck deals. Tow trucks 8 years or newer — you pay for the flexibility in rate and down payment. Dealer purchases only — we don't finance auction or private-seller buys.
Insurance partner
Need commercial truck or trailer insurance?
We refer truck and trailer insurance to Ten Four Insurance. They specialize in operators going independent, fleets adding equipment, and new-authority owner-ops — the same kind of customers we fund. They usually quote fast.
A Tampa-area tow operator financing a used Vulcan integrated wrecker for hurricane-season recovery and FHP rotation called us after the dealer's finance company declined his application. Three minutes on the phone and we'd identified the program that fit his file. We told him exactly what to expect — what to send, what the down payment range would look like, when he'd have an answer back.
Closed inside a week. Equipment delivered. Operator back to work.
It's rare we send anyone away without an option.

Dempsey's Freightliner Cascadia day cab — funded for fleet expansion
“I'm the owner of a trucking company and I had a great experience with Trust Alliance Capital. We had done an internet search for a highly rated financial company to help us attain funding for more trucks. Rodney Sessions was our agent and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would give all of the staff at Trust Alliance Capital 5 stars and highly recommend them.”
