Financing for Transport Services
Transport is capital-heavy. A used prime mover, a new trailer, a fleet upgrade or a major engine rebuild can run to the ~$120,000 mark or well beyond, and the truck has to keep earning to pay for itself. Equipment finance spreads the cost of the asset, while a working-capital line bridges the 30 to 60-day gap between delivering freight and being paid. Together they let you keep the fleet moving, take on bigger contracts and cover fuel and wages between invoice and payment.
Common questions
Transport Services — business loan questions
Can I finance used trucks and trailers?
Yes. Used prime movers, rigids and trailers are regularly financed in transport, with terms set against the age and condition of the asset. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands heavy-vehicle finance.
Can finance cover the wait on freight payments?
Yes. A working-capital or invoice facility is built to bridge the 30 to 60-day gap on freight payments, so fuel, wages and running costs are covered while you wait for customers and brokers to pay.
