We are partnered with over 20+ lenders, some of which focus on second chance financing. So

-
What kind of down-payment do I need?
-The amount of the down-payment required is dependent on several factors. Lenders take many things, such as CDL history, credit history, financing history, and owner/op. history into
account. Typically, banks will ask for 10%-35% down. It all depends on your credit history and the truck you are interested in. For more information, please email or call us and ask to speak
with our finance team.
-
How long does it take to get an approval?
-Once we have received your credit application, it can be as little as a few hours to a day to
receive an approval. Many times, we will receive an approval the same day if we receive an
application in the morning.
-
Once I have been approved, how long do I have to wait until I can take my truck?
-Once we have received your approval, it can take anywhere from one day to a week to release the truck to you. It all depends on how quickly the customer can submit the required documents to us and on how long it takes for the lender to release the funds to us.
