5 Flexible Semi-Truck and 18-Wheeler Leasing Options
Semi-Truck and 18-Wheeler Leasing from EquipCash is built around one goal: keeping your drivers moving and your routes profitable. Whether you need one truck or a full fleet, here are five potential financing approaches, subject to eligibility and capital partner requirements.
Commercial Truck Equipment Financing
A Fair Market Value lease gives you the lowest monthly payment and the option to upgrade to newer equipment at end of term. Ideal for semi-truck and 18-wheeler leasing when technology or fuel efficiency upgrades matter.
$1 Buyout Lease (Ownership Path)
A $1 buyout structure may be available for qualifying transactions, allowing ownership at the end of the term. Availability and tax treatment depend on the financing agreement and capital partner.
App-Only to $500,000
No financial statements. No tax returns. No lengthy approval process. Our app-only 18-wheeler leasing program covers up to $500,000 β fund a single truck or a small fleet in days, not weeks.
Fleet Sale Leaseback
Already own semi-trucks or tractor-trailers outright? An eligible equipment sale-leaseback may help unlock capital tied up in qualifying trucks while allowing continued business use, subject to underwriting and documentation. Learn more β
Corporate Fleet Financing (No PG)
Qualifying corporations can access semi-truck and 18-wheeler leasing with no personal guarantee β structured at the corporate entity level. Ideal for established carriers with strong company financials.
The Advantages of Our Semi-Truck and 18-Wheeler Leasing
EquipCash's semi-truck and 18-wheeler leasing programs are designed around the operational realities of commercial transportation β tight margins, high equipment costs, and routes that cannot wait for a bank's approval timeline. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there are over 500,000 active motor carriers in the United States β and equipment financing is one of the primary strategies operators use to maintain and grow their fleets without depleting working capital.
EquipCash evaluates each transaction individually through its platform of capital partners. Available terms, down payments, documentation, and approval timelines vary by applicant, equipment, and program.
