Why trucking companies in South Dakota qualify

Trucking companies are classified under Local and Regional Freight Trucking, which is an eligible category. That takes industry off the table and leaves the same four things every file is read on: average daily balance against revenue, time in business, negative days and NSFs, and existing positions. Local and regional freight is eligible. Long-distance TL and LTL trucking is restricted.

The cash-cycle problem

Broker settlements run 30-45 days while fuel, maintenance and drivers are paid immediately.

In South Dakota that usually means capital goes to fuel between settlements, repairs, a tractor or trailer, insurance premiums, driver pay.

Rate-cycle driven; fuel price swings hit margin directly.

What applies in South Dakota

South Dakota funds normally on every tier — no extra restrictions apply.

Most of this activity sits around Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, Brookings and Watertown.

We fund businesses in all 50 states. California and New York carry extra restrictions on the revenue-based tier.

Operating authority, DOT registration and insurance filings apply. Licensing is not a funding threshold here, but an expired licence shows up in diligence.

The South Dakota economy runs on agriculture, financial services and tourism, and trucking companies here largely track that base rather than the weather.

The published thresholds

Tier 1: 650 FICO, 3 years in business, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ monthly deposits.

Tier 2: 600 FICO, 6 months in business, $60,000 revenue, $800 minimum daily balance.

Renewal: 550 FICO, 2 years in business, once 50% of the original balance is repaid.

The minimum FICO is 500. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria that decide which product a file is read against, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely and are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.

Line of credit $10,000 to $350,000, from 1% per month on the drawn balance, 2.49% per draw
Term loan $10,000 to $250,000, 0% origination, weekly payments, capped at 15% of annual revenue
MCA refinance $10,000 to $100,000 on a position with a balance of $100,000 or less
Maximum two existing positions; the line of credit can sit second
Same-day decision, next business day funding on a complete file
Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.
