Fleet financing is an essential financial feature for trucking companies who either need to expand their fleet to grow their business or who need to upgrade their fleet with newer and better vehicles. A company can purchase, lease, or finance their vehicles when buying, leasing, or financing a truck. By purchasing, leasing, or financing with the right financial option, they can increase their liquidity, conserve capital, and keep their fleet up to date.

TruckX recognizes that fleet managers need to navigate a maze of financial and logistical decisions on the best way to fund their operations. Accordingly, we’ll assist them in identifying the most appropriate financing options for their business conditions. There are often two broad approaches to fleet financing. One involves truck loans that allow companies to purchase their vehicles under the conditions of a loan, while the other involves leasing agreements under which vehicles can be used but not owned.

Another option is so-called leasing with fleet management programs, in which financing is combined with services such as maintenance, telematics, and so forth all in a single package. This offers a more integrated service and also simplifies fleet management by taking advantage of the financial benefits of scale at suppliers, turning the cost into a single predictable expense each month for the vehicle operator.
