Truck Financing Questions

Common questions from owner-operators and fleet managers.

Credit requirements vary by lender:

  • Prime lenders: 680+ credit score, 2+ years in business
  • Near-prime: 620-680, may require larger down payment
  • Specialty lenders: 550+, higher rates but accessible

Strong business revenue and industry experience can offset lower credit scores. New owner-operators may qualify with strong personal credit and relevant driving experience.

Yes. Both new and used equipment can be financed. For used trucks and trailers:

  • Most lenders finance equipment up to 7-10 years old
  • Mileage limits typically apply (varies by lender)
  • Down payments may be higher (10-20%)
  • Terms are usually shorter than new equipment

Used equipment is a smart choice for many owner-operators—lower acquisition cost with proven reliability.

Down payment requirements depend on your credit profile and the equipment:

  • Strong credit + new equipment: 0-10% down possible
  • Average credit: 10-15% typical
  • Challenged credit: 15-25% may be required
  • Used equipment: Generally 10-20% regardless of credit

A larger down payment can improve your approval odds and reduce monthly payments.

Typical documentation requirements:

  • Business registration (Corporation, sole proprietorship docs)
  • 3-6 months of business bank statements
  • Driver's abstract (CVOR if applicable)
  • Equipment quote or bill of sale
  • Proof of insurance (or ability to obtain)
  • Government ID

For newer businesses or challenged credit, additional documentation may be requested.

Yes, though requirements are typically stricter. New owner-operators often need:

  • Strong personal credit (680+)
  • Relevant driving experience (1-2+ years as company driver)
  • Larger down payment (15-25%)
  • Signed contract or letter of intent from a carrier

Some lenders specialize in first-time owner-operators. We can match you with the right options.

No. Canada Equipment Finance is a finance broker, not a lender. We don't provide financing directly or make credit decisions.

Our role is to connect you with appropriate lenders from our network of Canadian equipment and transportation finance companies. This broker model benefits you because we can access multiple lenders and find options that fit your specific situation.
