Welcome to the #1 trucking forum

What is the typical down payment (%) required for a used 2008 yr truck for a O/O own authority and a 750 plus credit score? What would one expect for term (36/42/48 mo) and interest rate?
-
It kind of depends on the type of hauling you are doing and time in business. Typical down payment is first two payments up front and you should have no problem getting a 48 month term. Occasionally I have done 60 months on 2008 trucks. Rate depends on many factors-a good rule of thumb is between 6% and 9% though.
trucker43 Thanks this. -
It can be put together as a lease or a standard finance agreement. WIth a finance agreement your last payment will pay the truck off and you will be the legal owner. A lease can be structured to have a 10-20% residual at the end or a buyout of $1. As soon as that last payment is made then you are the legal owner. And yes, with a finance agreement the bank would be listed as the lienholder and on a lease the bank would be listed as the legal owner.

I looking to get back into the industry, I have had my own authority since the early 90s under which I ran for 5-6 yrs but I have not been active since. I would running Step deck freight. So I am trying to get a sense of the financing available.

LMAO...here's one for you.
16 year old debt. Paid in full, 16 years ago. How do you prove it ???
BTW, this was/is a tax lien that was never removed from credit reports after payment.
If you're gonna say dispute it with reporting agencies....don't bother.trucker43 Thanks this. -
Rontonio- Most banks would probably consider this to be a start up business. However, they would take into account your past experience so you would hopefully get more favorable terms. Either way, there are a handful of banks we work with that would consider this.
dance694u- Dispute it haha j/k. There should be a reference number reported on the credit report along with the tax lien. You should be able to reference this with the IRS to get record of it. It has worked before!Minder Kat and trucker43 Thank this. -
