Dump trucks earn big on construction sites but the iron is expensive, maintenance is constant, and work is seasonal. Between $120K used tri-axles, $800/week tire costs, and the gap between hauling and getting paid — dump truck operators need heavy-duty funding.
This Is Why You're Here
A site contractor wants you to dedicate 3 trucks to a 6-month grading project. You have 2 trucks — a used Kenworth T880 is $110K and available this week.
Your dump body hydraulic system failed — $9K repair. You’ve got 200 tons of aggregate to move this week for a GC who pays net-30.
Winter is coming and construction slows. You want to pivot to snow removal — a plow setup and salt spreader cost $12K per truck. The snow contracts won’t pay until December.
Your dump truck’s PTO blew while dumping 22 tons of gravel at a job site — $7,500 repair and the GC needs 15 more loads delivered this week. The replacement part is available but the shop wants payment before they order it.
A highway department awarded you a $280K paving sub-contract — 3 months of steady work. But you need a quad-axle dump at $145K to handle the volume. The project starts in 5 weeks and your bank wants 90 days to process the loan.
GC wanted 3 dedicated trucks on a 6-month grading job. I had 2. Basecamp financed a $110K Kenworth T880 at 8% with the truck as collateral. Had it on-site in 10 days.

Built for Your Business
A GC needs 3 dedicated trucks next month. You have 2. If you can't add a $110K tri-axle in 2 weeks, the contract goes to your competitor. We finance dump trucks fast enough to win the work.
Your dump body won't lift. That's $9K in hydraulic repairs and 200 tons of aggregate sitting at the quarry. We fund emergency repairs in 24 hours because a dump truck that can't dump earns zero.
Construction slows but snow removal starts. Plow setups and salt spreaders cost $12K per truck. The snow contracts won't pay until December. We fund the pivot so you don't sit idle for 4 months.
You delivered 200 loads of gravel this month but the general contractor pays net-30. Your fuel, tires, and driver costs don't wait. We bridge the gap between hauling and getting paid.

A site contractor just offered you a 6-month grading project. Three dedicated trucks. You have two. A used Kenworth T880 tri-axle is $110K and available this week. But your bank wants to talk about it for 6 weeks while the GC gives the contract to the next guy with enough iron. That's how dump truck operators lose work — not because they can't haul, but because they can't fund fast enough.
And the costs stack up different in this business. Your hydraulic system failed — $9K repair. You've got 200 tons of aggregate to move this week. Tires run $800/week across your fleet. Winter hits and you need $12K per truck for plow setups and salt spreaders to keep revenue flowing. GCs pay net-30 while your fuel bill is due today. We've financed $110K tri-axles, $12K snow pivot equipment, and $9K emergency hydraulic repairs — all for dump operators who can't afford to park a truck. One app. No hard pull.
