Frequently asked questions
- Can I finance a semi-truck in Bakersfield with bad credit?
- Often yes. We work all credit tiers. Sub-600 files typically need a larger down payment, verifiable driving history, and a truck with strong resale value, but they get funded regularly.
- Do you finance owner-operators with a new authority?
- Yes. New-authority programs exist for drivers with solid CDL experience. Expect a down payment in the 10–20% range and proof of insurance and settlements.
- Can I use an ITIN instead of an SSN?
- Yes. ITIN programs are available for Central Valley owner-operators, generally with a larger down payment and a co-applicant or established payment history.
- Do you finance private-party and auction truck purchases?
- Yes. Private-party and auction buys are financeable with an inspection and clean title. We can pre-commit before an auction so you know your ceiling.
