Fuel, repairs and insurance are due long before a customer pays. Local and regional delivery operators can apply for $25,000 to $5,000,000, funded in as little as 24 hours.
Apply Now →This page is about local and regional delivery: trucks and vans that start and end their work in or near Laredo and serve customers in a defined radius. Laredo is the largest inland port on the Mexican border and a hub for land, rail and air cargo, so there is a lot of freight activity in the area. Long-haul trucking is a different category with different cash-flow risks, and we are not promising funding for it. If your routes are local or regional, the rest of this page applies to you.
Fuel is paid at the pump, day by day. A customer who pays on net 30 or net 45 terms means you have funded a month or more of diesel before seeing a dollar.
A truck in the shop earns nothing. Brakes, tires, a transmission or a cooling-system failure are lump sums, and the faster you pay, the faster the truck is back on a route.
Premiums and deductibles are fixed costs that do not move with your workload. A slow month costs the same as a busy one.
| Item | You pay | You are paid |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel and tolls | Same day | After the customer's payment terms |
| Driver wages | Every pay cycle | After invoicing and approval |
| Repair invoice | On pickup of the vehicle | Not applicable; a cost of staying in service |
| Insurance premium | Monthly or in installments | Spread across all your deliveries |
It fits when the gap is temporary and explainable: a good customer pays slowly, a repair is bigger than expected, or a new contract needs a second vehicle on the road before its first invoice. It fits less well when the underlying routes do not cover their costs, because borrowing against a thin margin only postpones the problem.
For one-time purchases such as a vehicle or trailer, look at equipment financing in Laredo. For the day-to-day gap between fuel and payment, working capital is the closer match. Businesses that arrange trade paperwork may want the customs brokers and freight forwarders page, and importers can see import-export funding.
The application takes about five minutes, uses a soft credit pull and is open to sole proprietors, including owner-operators of a single local delivery vehicle. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000 and can arrive in as little as 24 hours after approval. Start here and describe your routes honestly so the request matches the business.
