Trucking & Transportation Funding
Trucking and transportation companies operate in a cash-flow environment that traditional lenders fundamentally misunderstand. Brokers and shippers pay on Net-30 to Net-60 terms, but fuel, driver pay, insurance, and maintenance costs are immediate. A single truck can burn through $5,000–$10,000 per week in operating costs before a load payment arrives. Multiply that across a fleet, and the cash-flow gap becomes the single biggest constraint on growth.
Granton Hale Capital works with owner-operators, small fleet owners, and mid-size carriers who need capital that matches the rhythm of transportation logistics. We evaluate your business based on load history, lane consistency, broker relationships, and revenue per truck — not just your credit score or years in business. Whether you're running 2 trucks or 200, we structure funding around the way your cash actually flows.
Our trucking clients use funding for everything from adding trucks and trailers to their fleet, covering fuel costs during high-diesel-price periods, managing insurance premium increases, and bridging the gap between delivery confirmation and broker payment. We also offer invoice factoring specifically designed for freight receivables.
Challenges
Industry Pain Points We Solve
Broker and Shipper Payment Delays
Net-30 to Net-60 payment terms from freight brokers and shippers mean you're financing fuel, driver pay, and maintenance for weeks before receiving revenue. Disputed loads and paperwork delays extend the wait further.
Fuel Cost Volatility
Diesel prices fluctuate dramatically and represent 25–35% of operating costs. A $0.50/gallon increase across a fleet can add tens of thousands in monthly expenses that fuel surcharges don't fully cover.
Fleet Maintenance and Replacement
DOT compliance, preventive maintenance, tire replacement, and unexpected breakdowns create constant capital demands. A single engine overhaul can cost $15K–$30K, sidelining a revenue-generating asset.
Insurance Premium Increases
Commercial trucking insurance premiums have risen 30–50% industry-wide in recent years. Annual premiums of $10K–$20K per truck create a massive upfront cost that must be paid regardless of revenue timing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with owner-operators or only larger fleets?
We work with owner-operators running a single truck all the way up to mid-size carriers with 200+ vehicles. Our minimum requirements are 6 months of operating history and $15K in monthly revenue. Many of our best client relationships started with a single-truck operator who grew their fleet with our support.
How does freight invoice factoring work?
After you deliver a load, you submit the bill of lading and invoice to us. We advance 90–97% of the invoice value within 24 hours. When the broker or shipper pays, we remit the remaining balance minus a small factoring fee (typically 1–3%). You choose which invoices to factor — there's no requirement to factor all loads.
Can I finance used trucks and trailers?
Yes. We finance both new and used commercial vehicles. For used trucks, we evaluate mileage, maintenance history, and remaining useful life. We commonly finance trucks with up to 500K miles if they've been well-maintained and have documented service history.
What documentation do I need to apply for trucking funding?
For most products, we need 3 months of bank statements, your MC/DOT authority information, a current insurance declaration page, and a list of active brokers/shippers. Equipment financing also requires details on the specific vehicle you want to purchase. The entire application takes about 5 minutes.
