Term

Trucking loans typically land ~7–18% by credit & lender.

A lump sum left at the end — lowers your monthly (lease-style).

How truck financing usually works

Most deals come down to one of a few structures. Here's the plain-English version so you know what a lender is offering before you sign.

Equipment loan / EFA

You borrow, pay a fixed monthly, and own the truck outright at the end (clear title, $0 or nominal final payment). Best for keeping it long-term and building equity.

Lease-to-own ($1 buyout)

Structured like a lease, but you own it for $1 at the end. Behaves like a loan, sometimes easier to approve, and may have different tax treatment.

FMV / 10% lease

Lower monthly payments because a residual (often ~10–20%) is left at the end — then you buy it out, refinance, or trade up. Good if you upgrade every few years or want to keep cash free.

Balloon / residual loan

A loan with a lump sum pushed to the end — lower payments now, a bigger one later. Try it with the “Balloon / residual” slider above.

What the numbers usually look like (Canada)

Term
Usually 48–72 months. Older or higher-mileage trucks get shorter terms.
Down payment
Typically 10–30%. $0-down exists but is reserved for the strongest files — often 700+ credit, an established business, and proven revenue.
Rate
Commonly ~7–18% APR. Banks sit lower but often won't finance trucking; specialized lenders are higher but far more flexible and faster.
What moves your rate
Credit score, time in business (new authority = higher), the truck's age & mileage, your down payment, and owner-op vs. fleet.

General information, not financial advice or an offer of credit. Actual rates and terms vary by lender and your situation — exact numbers come from a lender.

Who lends on trucks

Different files fit different lenders. Here's the landscape, so you know where a deal like yours usually lands.

Bank / credit union

Lowest rates — best for established businesses with strong credit.

Specialized equipment lender

Fast, flexible, trucking-savvy — the workhorse of equipment finance.

New-authority / credit-builder lender

Built for new MC/authority and rebuilding credit — approves where banks won't.

Private / alternative

For tougher files — higher rates, but gets the deal done.
