Owner-operator truck financing — from your first truck to a multi-truck fleet.
Built for the driver going independent. The owner-op upgrading from a used Cascadia to a new Peterbilt. The two-truck operation adding a third. The driver with a balloon payment coming due. We've funded all of it. A real person picks up the phone.

Who we fund
Different owner-ops, different deals — same lender panel, same five-day funding cycle on app-only files.
First-time owner-operators
Drivers going independent from a company seat. Strong personal credit, meaningful down payment, the truck picked out. Expect 15-25% down on a used Class 8 if you're sub-2 years in business. We have programs built for the first-truck deal.
Established owner-ops upgrading
Two to ten years driving your own truck and ready for the next one — newer Cascadia, longer-spec Peterbilt, your first Kenworth. App-only funding in 3-5 days on most files. Wrap your trade-in payoff into the new deal.
Multi-truck owner-op fleets
Adding truck #3, #5, #10. App-only fleet expansion up to a certain size; beyond that, full-financials deals that fund in 7-14 days. We know how to structure around your loads, drivers, and contracts.
Balloon-payment refinance
4-5 years into a 5-year truck loan with a $30K-$50K balloon coming due. We refinance the balloon outside your original lender and structure a clean 3-5 year payback. Sometimes wrap in a second truck purchase.
Used truck deals
Used Cascadia, Peterbilt 579, Kenworth T680, Volvo VNL, Mack Anthem, International LT. Trucks outside the dealer finance company's age and miles limits. Auction buyouts, dealer lots, fleet trade-ins, private sellers — all fund.
Prior BK and credit-challenged
Discharged BK with 12-24 months of clean credit behavior. 20-30% down on a used truck typically. The story matters — what the BK was, why it happened, what's different now. We walk through your file before pulling credit.
How an owner-op truck deal actually closes
- Five-minute phone call. Tell us about the truck, your driving history, credit picture, down payment, and what you're trying to accomplish. Spencer or one of his account managers picks up. No bot, no overseas call center.
- We tell you the deal on the phone. What credit tier we'd fund it at, expected down payment, expected monthly payment. No surprises in writing later.
- Application + credit pull. 15-minute app online or by phone. Hard pull only when you say go.
- Underwriting + approval in 24-72 hours. We package the deal to the right lender on our panel. Most app-only deals approve same day or next day.
- Stipulations + insurance. Insurance binder, last 30 days of paystubs or settlements, signed documents. Funded direct to the dealer or private seller.
- You drive the truck. Most deals complete in 3-5 business days from a complete app. Balloon refinance and multi-truck deals run 5-10 days.
