Industry Authority Center
A broken truck means zero revenue. A slow freight market means cash flow gaps even when you're running loads. Banks see trucking as high-risk and move too slow. This resource center was built for trucking businesses that need real capital answers — fast.
Trucking repair funding through MCA can get you $10,000–$500,000 in 1–2 business days based on monthly gross revenue. No equipment collateral required. 500 FICO minimum. The underwriter reviews your last 3 months of freight deposits — not your DOT authority age or equipment title.
Start with the path that matches your situation.
No restrictions on use — capital goes where your business needs it most.

Trucking factor rates: 1.18–1.35 for strong profiles. 1.35–1.49 for higher-risk or shorter history. Factoring company deposits count toward monthly volume.
Two different lenders looking at the same trucking company see completely different risks.
Trucking is one of the most consistently funded industries in MCA. Freight settlements — whether from direct shippers, brokers, or factoring companies — create exactly the deposit pattern underwriters want to see. Read the Trucking Repair Funding Guide →
Common questions from owner-operators and fleet companies about qualifying, amounts, and how MCA works for trucking.
Yes. Owner-operators qualify for MCA funding with the same criteria as fleet companies: 500+ FICO, 6+ months in business, and $8,000+/month in business bank deposits. Your freight income deposited into a business checking account is what underwriters evaluate — not DOT authority age, equipment value, or broker relationships.
Trucking companies typically qualify for 75–150% of average monthly deposits. An owner-operator averaging $18,000/month may qualify for $13,500–$27,000. A fleet averaging $85,000/month may qualify for $65,000–$130,000. Amounts up to $500,000 are available for established fleets with strong deposit history.
No. MCA funding does not require your trucks, trailers, or equipment as collateral. Repayment comes from a daily percentage of your business bank deposits — typically 10–15%. No UCC lien on equipment, no title transfer, no DOT bond requirement.
Most trucking MCA applications receive a decision within 2–4 hours of submitting 3 months of bank statements. Funding is deposited within 24–48 hours of contract signing. Emergency repair funding can sometimes be same-day for complete applications submitted before noon.
Underwriters evaluate four factors: (1) total monthly deposit volume — freight settlements, factoring company deposits, and direct broker payments, (2) NSF frequency — 0–2 per month preferred, (3) average daily balance — $1,500+ preferred, and (4) existing advance payments — too many simultaneous positions reduce approval odds.
Yes. Bank declines do not affect MCA eligibility. MCA underwriters evaluate deposit volume, not traditional creditworthiness criteria. A bank decline is common in trucking because banks view the industry as high-risk. MCA underwriters fund trucking companies daily — it is one of the most commonly funded industries.
Yes. MCA funds are unrestricted — fuel, emergency repairs, driver payroll, insurance premiums, new truck down payments, DOT compliance costs, or any other business expense. There are no restrictions on how you use the capital.
