 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These people are awesome. Zac helped me out I can’t say enough good things about the experience I had working with him. My case was extremely difficult, my credit wasn’t great, and getting the loan approved was far from easy. But for three straight days, he kept working on it and refused to take no for an answer. It’s rare to find someone in finance who genuinely fights for their client instead of simply giving up when things get complicated. I do have to mention that I was completely denied From two different people prior to talking to him. Now I have a new person that I can call when I need help.💪

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe O’Brien was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable in every step of the process, was very transparent, and answered honestly on any questions we had. He stayed in contact continuously with updates (even if there were none at the time), and absolutely went over and beyond. We will be working with him again, for our future business purchases. Thank you Joe!

FAQ

Plain answers to the questions we hear most.

What's the difference between $1 buyout and FMV?

A $1 buyout lease works like a finance loan. At term end you own the truck for $1. An FMV lease has lower monthly payments and the option to buy at fair-market price, return, or upgrade. FMV is popular when you refresh fleets every 3–5 years.

Can payments scale with peak season?

Yes! Step-up structures and skip-payment seasons are common for retailers, e-comm, and 3PLs with predictable holiday spikes.

Do you cover used or refurbished trucks?

Yes! Used and certified-refurb forklifts from any reputable dealer are part of our daily volume.

Master lease across multiple sites?

Yes! A single contract spanning multiple locations and equipment classes is standard for multi-site operators.

Will applying hurt my credit?

No! Pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull with zero score impact. Hard pull only after final offer acceptance.
