Running a dumpster rental service, debris removal crew, or waste hauling business? If you’re looking to finance a roll-off truck, this guide breaks it down step by step—with no fluff, no confusion, and no red tape.
Whether you're upgrading an aging unit or buying your first hooklift, getting approved doesn’t have to take weeks or mountains of paperwork. Here's exactly how to finance a roll-off truck in 5 simple steps.
Before you shop for a truck or apply, it’s smart to confirm that you meet the basic requirements lenders look for. If you check these boxes, you're already in a strong position to get approved:
650+ personal credit score
2+ years in business (LLC, Corp, or Sole Prop)
$15,000+ in average monthly business revenue
This is the minimum for most commercial truck lenders—including TruckLenders USA. If you're close on one requirement but strong in another area, it’s still worth applying.

Now it’s time to decide what kind of roll-off truck you need. Your choice should match your business model, hauling needs, and budget.
We finance all types of roll-off units, including:
Hooklift trucks – flexible and easy to swap containers
Cable hoist roll-offs – ideal for heavier or larger loads
Container delivery trucks – perfect for residential and commercial drop-offs
You can finance:
New trucks from licensed dealers
Used trucks from dealers, private sellers, or auctions
Not sure which type fits your operation best? Reach out—we can help you weigh your options based on your revenue and hauling volume.
Once you know what truck you want, you’ll need a quote or invoice from the seller. This is required to process your financing application.
Acceptable documents include:
Dealer invoice (for new or used trucks)
Private seller quote or online listing (must include VIN and price)
Auction listings with seller contact info
Why is this important? Lenders need to verify the truck’s value and seller information before releasing funds. Don’t worry—you’re not buying it yet, just submitting the details for approval.
Here’s where the financing actually happens. The right commercial lender will walk you through the process, help you avoid delays, and offer terms that work with your business.
