Our Programs:
We have many different programs available for your customers and can service B through D credits. Most Lenders can only finance good credits or only difficult credits, but we offer multiple programs, so we can service all of your customers.
“B” Credit Program:
- Low attractive rates
- 5+ years Owner Operator experience
- Fico Score 650 or above
- Loan amount must be at or below NADA Loan Value
- 2 years of tax returns – first page only
“C” Credit Program:

- 2+ years Owner Operator experience
- Fico Score 600 or above
- Loan amount must be at or below NADA Loan Value
- Application only, no tax returns
“D” Credit Program – Our Tough Credit Program:
- Prior BK and past credit problems = OK
- First Time Owner Operator = OK
- Low Fico Score = OK
- Loan amount must be at or below NADA Loan Value
- Application only, no tax returns
- Minimum 30% down
- We can overcome all these credit deficiencies with a good down payment or additional collateral.
Additional Collateral:
If the applicant owns a truck or auto free & clear and is willing to pledge the title as collateral, we can reduce the down payment requirement or even possibly approve the transaction with zero down (depending on the value of the collateral).
Trailer Financing:
We can finance trailers, but we do require the title to a Truck as additional collateral. The customer must have title to a Truck owned free and clear that they can pledge as collateral.
We can often offer 100% financing on Trailers as long as there is a Truck as additional collateral. We do not have an age requirement on Dry Vans or Flatbeds, however Refrigerated Trailers must be California compliant.
Our Lending Product:
We use an Equipment Finance Agreement (EFA) as our loan documents. It works as a Loan product and the Borrower is the registered owner on the title and Shelter Financial Services is the lien holder.
Limits/Credits we cannot approve:
- Cannot have more than $10,000 in credit card and less than 50% available
- Cannot be delinquent on mortgage
- Cannot be delinquent on a truck or auto payment
- Cannot be in Bankruptcy currently
- Prior repossessions
Loan amounts less on these engines:
MaxxForce, Volvo, Paccar & Mercedes.
We can finance these engine’s, but will require a larger down payment.
