Sleeper Truck Financing
Sleeper trucks are for operators running over the road under their own authority or leased to a carrier. This category prices across the whole purchase price window, from a modest used day cab up to a later model Class 8 sleeper, so the cash needed at closing varies widely from one truck to the next. Every unit we finance comes from a licensed dealer.

What Matters On A Sleeper Truck Deal
The lender reviews the specific truck as part of the transaction, including year, make and model, mileage, truck type and specifications.
This category prices across the whole $21,000 to $145,000 range, so the cash at closing varies. An established business is typically 30% down and a startup is typically 40% down with 2 years of industry experience.
