Lease vs. Finance: Which Is Better for Straight Trucks?

When adding a straight truck to your business, you’ll want to decide whether a loan (financing) or a capital lease makes more sense.

Loan (Financing)

Best if you want to own the truck long-term.

  • You own the truck outright at the end of the term

  • Lower total cost compared to leasing over time

  • Build equity in the equipment

  • Flexible use — no mileage or wear restrictions

Ideal for: Contractors, service companies, and operators who plan to keep their truck for 5+ years.

Capital Lease

Best if you want lower payments now or plan to upgrade trucks more often.

  • Lower upfront cost than financing

  • Lower monthly payments during the term

  • Option to buy at lease-end for a small residual value

  • Easier to replace or upgrade every few years

Ideal for: Businesses with shorter-term contracts, seasonal work, or those prioritizing cash flow over ownership.

Who Qualifies for Straight Truck Financing?

Minimum Requirements:

  • 2+ years in business (18+ months for start-ups)

  • 650+ credit score

  • $5,000+ average monthly bank balance

  • Driver’s License or CDL

  • Invoice or bill of sale

We finance:

  • New or used straight trucks

  • Dealer, private party, or auction sales

  • Single trucks or small fleets

Straight Truck Financing for Start-Up Businesses

Getting approved as a newer business can be challenging, but we offer programs designed for companies just getting started.

Minimum Requirements:

  • At least 18+ months of industry experience (construction, delivery, moving, hauling, etc.)

  • 20% down payment on the truck

  • Interest rates typically 12%–20%

  • Loan amount depends on credit strength and cash flow

Best For:

  • Contractors starting their first company truck purchase

  • Owner-operators leaving W-2 work to build their own business

  • New businesses looking to establish commercial credit history

Tip: Start-ups see the best approvals when they can show steady income through contracts or side jobs in the same industry.

Straight Truck Financing for Bad Credit

If your credit score is lower than 625, you may still qualify — but lenders will want to see a stronger commitment upfront.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Credit score: below 625 may be considered

  • 50% down payment often required

  • Interest rates typically 15%–30%

  • Truck age and condition matter — newer units are easier to approve

Best For:

  • Experienced operators with steady work but past credit issues

  • Businesses with strong cash flow, even if credit history is weak

  • Buyers purchasing lower-priced trucks who can make a large down payment

Tip: The bigger the down payment, the better your chances of approval — and possibly at the lower end of the interest rate range.

What Types of Straight Trucks Can We Finance?

If it’s a commercial straight truck, chances are we can finance it. We work with both new and used trucks from dealers, private sellers, and auctions.

Popular straight truck types we finance include:

  • Dry Van Straight Trucks – Common for freight, delivery, and general transport

  • Refrigerated (Reefer) Trucks – Keep perishable goods cold and compliant

  • Flatbed Straight Trucks – Haul heavy equipment, building materials, or oversized loads

  • Stake Body Trucks – Flexible, removable sides for hauling landscaping, lumber, or bulky items

  • Service & Utility Straight Trucks – Outfitted for contractors, electricians, HVAC, and utility companies

  • Delivery & Moving Trucks – Ideal for couriers, logistics, and moving businesses

Whether you need one truck or an entire fleet, we can help you get funded fast.

Save on Taxes with Section 179

One of the biggest advantages of financing a straight truck is the Section 179 tax deduction. This IRS rule allows you to write off the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the year you put it into service — even if you financed it.

Key Benefits for 2025:

  • Deduct up to $1,250,000 in equipment purchases

  • Applies to both financed and leased trucks

  • Truck must be used 50% or more for business

  • Combine with bonus depreciation for extra savings

Why It Matters:
Instead of spreading deductions over several years, you can take the full write-off now, lowering your taxable income immediately.

Pro Tip: Many contractors and service companies finance trucks near year-end to capture the tax deduction right away — while preserving their cash flow for operations.

Straight Truck Financing FAQs

Q: What credit score do I need to qualify?
We recommend a credit score of 650 or higher for the best rates and terms. If your score is lower, you may still qualify through our start-up or bad credit programs with a larger down payment or stronger cash flow.

Yes. We finance new and used trucks purchased from a dealer, private seller, or auction. As long as we can verify the truck details and title, we can structure a deal around it.

Q: How fast can I get approved and funded?
Our process is built for speed. Approvals typically happen within 24 hours, and funding is often completed in 1–3 business days once documents are in.

Q: What documents will I need to apply?
To move forward quickly, have these ready:

  • 3 months of business bank statements
