This Is Why You're Here
Why Diesel / Heavy Dutys Come to Us Instead of Their Bank
A trucking company wants you to service their 25-truck fleet. You need a heavy-duty lift ($60K), diesel diagnostic tools ($30K), and DPF cleaning equipment ($15K) to handle the contract.
Your current lift maxes out at 12,000 lbs. Class 7 and 8 trucks need a 30,000 lb+ lift — that's $55K installed. Every heavy truck you turn away is $2K-$5K in lost revenue.
DOT inspection season is approaching and a local fleet needs pre-trip inspections on 40 vehicles. You need $20K in parts inventory and a second inspection bay to handle the volume.
Your DPF cleaning machine just died. Replacement is $16K. You've got 8 trucks scheduled for regen service this week at $700 each — that's $5,600 walking out the door if you can't clean filters by Friday.
A construction company wants you to maintain 18 pieces of heavy equipment on-site. You need a $28K mobile service truck setup and $14K in diesel parts inventory before the contract starts in two weeks.
Landed a 25-truck fleet contract but needed a $60K heavy-duty lift and $30K in diagnostic tools fast. Basecamp got both funded in under a week. That fleet contract alone covers the payments twice over.

Why Diesel / Heavy Duty Businesses Choose Basecamp
Heavy-Duty Equipment Costs 3x Passenger
A passenger car lift is $12K. A 30,000 lb heavy-duty lift is $55K-$80K installed with in-ground work. Diesel diagnostic tools run $30K. Banks see the price tags and freeze. Our lenders understand heavy-duty economics.
Fleet Contracts Need Instant Mobilization
A trucking company awards you 25 trucks. You've got two weeks to add a lift, stock diesel parts, and hire a tech — or they call someone else. We fund fleet contract mobilization in days, not the months your bank needs.
DPF Equipment Pays for Itself Fast
A DPF cleaning machine costs $12K-$18K. But a single DPF cleaning job bills $500-$800. Do 30 a month and the machine pays for itself in under a month. We fund the no-brainer equipment investments banks can't underwrite fast enough.
DOT Season Creates Massive Demand Spikes
DOT inspection season hits and suddenly every fleet in town needs pre-trip inspections, brake work, and emissions testing. You need $20K in parts and extra capacity — for six weeks. A line of credit handles the surge without crushing your cash.

Diesel / Heavy Duty Business Loan FAQs
Diesel Mechanic Loans & Heavy-Duty Shop Financing — $10K to $5M+
Everything in diesel costs more. A heavy-duty lift is $55K-$80K — that's 5x a passenger car lift. Diesel diagnostic tools run $30K. A DPF cleaning machine is $15K. And the bay space to fit a Class 8 truck means higher rent, bigger doors, and reinforced floors. You're running a capital-intensive operation and your bank treats you like an oil change shop. That's the disconnect.
And then a fleet contract lands. Twenty-five trucks, two weeks to mobilize. You need $90K in equipment and parts before the first truck shows up. Your bank says six weeks. We say five days. 70+ lenders who fund diesel and heavy-duty shops daily. Equipment financing for lifts, DPF machines, and diagnostics. Working capital for fleet mobilization and DOT season surges. One application, no hard pull. Diesel shops get funded fast because our lenders understand the math.
