MCA for Trucking Speed
MCA is not the cheapest trucking financing, but it is often the fastest. When breakdowns, emergencies, or payroll cannot wait, MCA provides capital while other options process.
Speed Priority
MCA excels when speed matters more than cost. Engine failure, payroll emergency, or opportunity requiring immediate action.
Revenue-Based Qualification
MCA evaluates bank statements and freight deposits. Strong carriers qualify despite credit challenges.
Trucking Payment Timing
Providers evaluating trucking companies understand shipper payment terms and freight timing.
Strategic Use
MCA works best for short-term, high-value situations: emergency repairs, payroll bridge, or opportunity capital.
When Speed Trumps Cost
MCA trades higher cost for speed when trucking emergencies cannot wait.
Equipment Emergency
Engine failure. Transmission repair. Critical equipment down. Need capital faster than banks provide.
Shipper Payment Delay
Major shipper payment delayed. Payroll still due Friday. Need bridge capital.
Bank Timeline Mismatch
Bank wants 30-60 days. Your breakdown needs repair this week.
Credit Challenges
Past credit issues but strong current revenue. Banks see score. MCA sees freight deposits.
Payroll Bridge
Cash flow gap between loads. Drivers expect pay on schedule.
Insurance Due

Real Results
Rocky Mountain Freight
Regional Trucking, Colorado
The Challenge
Rocky Mountain had engine failure on lead truck. $28,000 repair needed. Major shipper payment 25 days away. Bank wanted 3 weeks for loan decision.
The Solution
We evaluated their $65,000 monthly freight deposits and approved $35,000 MCA at 1.32 factor. Funding arrived in 48 hours.
The Result
Truck repaired and back on road within 4 days. Lost revenue minimized. MCA cost was fraction of lost freight revenue from extended downtime.
