Financing Starts With the Business Model
CMCC reviews the financing objective in the context of the company's cash flow, collateral, operating cycle, ownership and transaction structure. Industry labels help frame the review, but they do not replace underwriting.
- Acquisition and ownership transition
- Working capital and liquidity
- Equipment and vehicles

Carriers are evaluated on operating history, equipment age and condition, customer and lane mix, and how fuel and payroll are funded between deliveries and payments. Truck and trailer purchases are usually collateralized by the equipment itself.
Common Financing Uses
- Tractors, trucks and trailers
- Fleet replacement or expansion
- Working capital for fuel, insurance and payroll
- Buying another carrier or its equipment
Documentation Typically Requested
An equipment schedule with year, make, model, mileage and VIN, revenue by customer, insurance details and financial statements.
Illustrative Scenario
A regional carrier replacing older tractors might compare the payment on newer equipment with expected maintenance and fuel savings.
