FynFund · Seasoned Merchant Funding

Funding for trucking companies that have been running rigs 5+ years.

Working capital, equipment loans, fuel advances, and MCAs for established owner-operators and fleets. $10K to $2M.

Trucking is cash-flow first. Fuel is due today, DOT inspections are due this week, the invoice from the shipper comes 45 days later. FynFund funds trucking businesses that have been moving freight 5+ years — the kind of operator banks should fund but won't because of the seasonality and the DOT rating dance. We work with lenders who know the industry.

Who this is for

Why seasoned merchants choose FynFund

01

Industry-specific funders

We route trucking deals to the MCA and equipment funders that actively want trucking — not generic lenders who downgrade your rate for industry risk.

Equipment financing at invoice

Finance a tractor or trailer at 85-100% LTV based on the dealer invoice. Minimal down payment for 5+ year operators with clean trucks.

03

Same-day offers on most MCA deals. Equipment financing typically 3-7 days. Factoring setup in under 48 hours.

Trucking is uniquely underserved by traditional banks. A 5-year-old owner-operator with $40K/month in gross revenue, a clean DOT rating, and a paid-off tractor can still get a polite 'no' from a community bank because of industry classification. Meanwhile, the same file lands an approval from a trucking-focused MCA funder in 24 hours. The lenders in FynFund's network aren't scared of trucking — they specialize in it.

The right product depends on the use case. Fuel and emergency repair capital? MCA or fuel advance — speed matters, cost is tolerable for 3-6 month payback. A new tractor? Equipment financing at 85-100% of invoice, 4-7 year term, 9-15% APR. Seasonal working capital? A factoring line against your outstanding invoices gives you cash 2 days after delivery instead of 45. Expansion or a buyout of a retiring operator's routes? SBA 7(a) is the cheapest money available if you have 90 days to close.

For 5+ year trucking businesses with clean DOT ratings, we consistently place MCA deals at factor rates of 1.15-1.30 (versus 1.35-1.50 for newer operators), equipment financing at 85-95% LTV without a heavy down payment, and factoring lines at 93-97% advance rates. Those 2-5 point improvements add up to real money across a year of freight.

One specific note for veteran-owned trucking companies: several funders in our network explicitly price military-vet deals at preferred rates, and the SBA Veterans Advantage program waives the guaranty fee on loans up to $350K for veteran-owned businesses. If you served, tell us upfront — we'll route your file accordingly.

Common questions

Do you fund owner-operators with just one truck?+

Yes. Most of our trucking deals are 1-5 truck operations. Single-truck owner-operators with 5+ years of MC authority and clean bank statements qualify for the full range of products.

What about a DOT Conditional rating?+

Conditional is workable — many funders in our network will still approve. Out-of-service is harder but not impossible for operators with strong revenue. We'll tell you upfront which funders will quote your profile.

Can I finance a used truck?+

Yes. Equipment financing on used tractors is available — typically 80-90% LTV depending on age, mileage, and your credit. Trucks under 8 years and 700K miles get the best rates.

What's a typical factor rate for a 5-year trucking company?+

For a 5-year operator with $40K+ monthly revenue and a Satisfactory DOT rating, MCA factor rates typically land 1.18-1.32 — on par with or better than non-trucking small businesses.

Do you offer invoice factoring?+

Yes. Factoring lines are available for established carriers — typical advance rates of 90-97% on approved invoices, with same-day or next-day funding after load delivery.

How fast can I get a fuel advance?+

Same-day or next-business-day for clean files. Typical deal size for fuel emergencies is $15K-$75K with 3-6 month payback via daily ACH.

Can I use an MCA to buy a truck?+

Technically yes, but equipment financing is almost always cheaper for a truck purchase. MCAs are best for short-term working capital. We'll recommend equipment financing when the use of funds is a vehicle.

What documents do you need for trucking deals?+

3 months of business bank statements, MC authority confirmation (MCS-150), DOT rating verification, and either factoring statements or freight invoice samples. Equipment deals also require dealer invoice and truck VIN.

Do you work with fleet owners who have 10+ trucks?+

Absolutely. Fleet operators typically qualify for term loans, commercial lines of credit, and larger factoring facilities. The lenders in our network go up to $5M for strong fleet files.

Do you help military veteran truckers?+

Yes. Several funders offer preferred terms for veteran-owned trucking businesses, and the SBA Veterans Advantage program (for SBA 7(a) loans up to $350K) waives the guaranty fee. Tell us you're a veteran when you apply.
