Step Deck financing for Texas operators.
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.
A real person answers the phone. In about three minutes you'll know if we can help.
Why Texas operators choose us
Most step deck buyers in Texas 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.
What we know about Texas step deck financing
- Texas oilfield modular equipment moves — pipe skids, tank sections, compressor packages that need drop-deck clearance — drive step deck demand for oilfield haulers
- Texas port-corridor over-height freight — machinery, industrial equipment, containers exceeding low-deck-clearance limits — drives step deck demand across Houston
- Texas construction equipment repositioning between Houston area jobsites — mid-size excavators, small dozers, aerial lifts — is the classic step deck use-case
We work with operators across Texas's major metros — including Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, and El Paso.

Who we fund in Texas
- Strong-credit operators who want the convenience of an equipment-finance specialist instead of bank paperwork. App-only, mostly phone and email.
- Established businesses scaling fleets that need fast underwriting without bank back-and-forth.
- First-time buyers who can't get past a dealer's finance company on time-in-business or down-payment requirements.
- Operators with prior BK, slow pay, or thin file who need a finance company that will work the deal, not auto-decline.
- Buyers of used equipment outside dealer finance age and hours limits.
- Operators who want one financing relationship across many dealers — TAC carries with you. Get approved once, work with any vendor in Texas.

A Houston-area oilfield hauler financing a used Fontaine step deck for modular pipe-skid and tank-section moves 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.

★★★★★
“Mr. Logan Cleveland got me approved with no money down with Trust Alliance Capital. I have been driving for 12 years. My business is running strong — he was a blessing to me and my family. He stayed on top of everything. Paperwork was done in days, not weeks. The crazy thing was, they were waiting on me. If you are needing a semi truck financed, ask Mr. Logan Cleveland. Awesome guy — look him up, call him, and see for yourself.”
