Trucking fleet funding requirements

Most funding sites will not tell fleet owners the cutoffs until after an application. These are the published thresholds for businesses running two or more trucks, and the four things that disqualify a file outright.

The published thresholds

Fleet sizeTwo or more trucks (power units). A sole proprietor running multiple trucks qualifies the same way as any fleet.

Lowest-cost tier3+ years in business, a 650 FICO, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ deposits a month

Revenue-based tier6 months in business, a 600 FICO and $60,000 in verifiable revenue

Renewala renewal once 50% of an original balance is repaid, which drops the credit floor to 550

Average bank balance$5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue

Minimum average daily balance$800 on revenue-based funding

Negative daysMax 3 in a month, 9 across six months

NSFsMax 6 in a month, 24 across six months

NSFs + negative days5 maximum combined in a month on revenue-based funding

Existing positionsNo more than 2

States not fundedVermont, North Dakota and South Dakota

OwnershipAt least 50%. No non-profits

What disqualifies a file outright

These four are not judgement calls, and nothing else in the file compensates for them.

Non-profit — not eligible on any tier

Operating in Vermont, North Dakota or South Dakota

More than two open positions

Bankruptcy or foreclosure inside the last three years

Missing one threshold is not a decline. The revenue-based tier exists for exactly the files the first tier turns away — 6 months in business, a 600 FICO and $60,000 in verifiable revenue.

What underwriting actually reads

A multi-truck fleet carries fuel, driver payroll, insurance and truck payments on a settlement cycle that pays weeks after the load is delivered. Two trucks down in the same week can outrun the cash in the account.

Thresholds get the file read. Three to six months of business bank statements decide it — average daily balance against monthly revenue, deposit count, negative days and NSFs. A fleet clearing every number with a balance that hits zero weekly is a harder file than one sitting a point under with a steady cushion.

Common questions

What does a multi-truck fleet need to qualify for funding?

The business must be running two or more trucks. For the lowest-cost tier: 3+ years in business, a 650 FICO, $300,000 a year or $25,000 a month, 8+ deposits a month. For revenue-based funding: 6 months in business, a 600 FICO and $60,000 in verifiable revenue.

What credit score is required?

650 for the lowest-cost tier, 600 for revenue-based funding, 550 on a renewal.

What disqualifies an application?

Being a non-profit, operating in Vermont, North Dakota or South Dakota, carrying more than two open positions, or a bankruptcy or foreclosure inside three years.

Do I need tax returns?

No. Three months of business bank statements is the standard ask.

Will checking affect my credit?

No.
