    Hello fellow truckers!

    I registered a transport corporation 2 months ago. Given that, many lenders won't give me a loan to purchase equipment or truck.
    Anyone here knows lender which would give
    a loan to purchase semi truck?
    God speed!

    I have got my cdl 9 years ago, but overall 3 years of OTR experience. I am able to put down 20k-30k. I would like to shop newer truck but still used a few years.

    So you want to find a bank to lend you money to be a truck driver ?

    Why don’t you just get a job as a truck driver ? Banks want sure bets not I want to try something new.

    Main thing is to have a solid business plan when you go in.

    If you are asking this question, then you have not done enough research to get a truck. 20-30K should be enough to buy a decent truck. Hell, I could get you a really nice used Walmart fleet truck for that. (And this information is not free, so I am not going to tell anyone how on some random thread.)
