The working capital squeeze in trucking

A trucking company can be busy and still short on cash. Every load you haul costs fuel, driver time, and wear before it earns a dollar, and the payment often shows up weeks later. Add a seasonal dip in freight or a big repair and the account runs thin fast. Working capital is the cushion that lets you keep saying yes to loads.

We provide working capital to established regional and local carriers with steady deposits, from $25,000 to $5,000,000.

A simple way to think about it

For illustration: a local carrier running eight trucks might bill steadily each month but wait 35 to 45 days on most of it. Meanwhile fuel and payroll leave the account weekly. Working capital covers that timing difference so the company is not choosing between paying drivers and fixing a truck. The right amount depends mainly on your deposits and what you already owe.

What carriers use working capital for

  1. Payroll during slow-pay periods, covered in detail on our trucking payroll funding page.
  2. Seasonal freight dips, when volume drops but fixed costs stay. See slow season funding for trucking.
  3. Taking on new contracts that need drivers and fuel before they pay.
  4. Compliance and insurance costs that come due all at once.

How the process goes

Start with our 5-minute application. We ask for about three months of business bank statements. No tax returns. The first credit check is a soft pull, and FICO scores of 500 and up are considered. Sole proprietors and owner-operators can apply.

If you qualify, your offer lists the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.

Matching the product to the need

Working capital is a broad category. For a one-time lump sum tied to revenue, see our merchant cash advance for trucking. For recurring needs, a line of credit lets you draw as needed. The trucking cash flow guide covers how to plan ahead.
