How credit shows up in freight

Plenty of solid freight operators have bruised credit. A slow-paying broker, a bad winter, a truck that ate its engine at the wrong moment. Those things leave marks on a credit report even when the business underneath is sound.

We consider applicants with FICO 500+. Credit is one part of the picture. It does not decide the outcome on its own, and it is not the only thing we look at.

What funders weigh alongside your score

When credit is weaker, the rest of the file carries more weight. Funders generally look at:

There is no single factor that makes or breaks a file. Our freight and logistics qualification guide goes deeper.

Products that may fit

Depending on your deposits and needs, options can include working capital, a merchant cash advance for freight and logistics, or revenue-based financing. Each is sized mainly from your bank activity. We work with regional and local operators and do not offer funding for long-haul trucking.

Starting without making things worse

The application takes about five minutes and starts with a soft credit pull, so you can see where you stand without adding a hard inquiry. No tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply.

When an offer comes in, check the full repayment amount and the payment schedule, both of which are shown before you accept. With credit already stretched, picking a payment you can carry through a slow week matters more than taking the largest number.

Rebuilding while you run

Funding that is sized sensibly and paid on schedule can help a freight business steady itself. Keep the account clean, keep deposits flowing through one place, and avoid stacking new obligations on top of each other. Over time, a cleaner bank history gives any funder more to work with, whether you come back to us or go elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need?

FICO 500+ is considered. Your score is weighed with deposits, existing obligations and account history.

Will a past tax lien or late payments stop me?

It depends on the full picture. Funders look at how the business is performing now alongside past credit issues.

Does applying add a hard inquiry?

No. We start with a soft credit pull.

Do you work with long-haul carriers with bad credit?

We do not offer funding for long-haul trucking. We focus on regional and local freight and logistics businesses.

Do I need tax returns?

No tax returns are required. About three months of business bank statements is the main document.

Can I apply if I have an open advance already?

You can apply. Existing obligations are part of the review, since they affect how much room your deposits have.
