Why Flatbed / Heavy Haul Businesses Choose Basecamp
Best Loads Need Equipment You Don't Have Yet
Wind turbines, steel beams, transformers — the highest-paying flatbed loads need specialty trailers costing $60K-$120K. We finance the trailer so you don't pass on $200K contracts.
Permits and Escorts Are Due Before You Haul
Oversize permits cost $1,500-$5,000 per load. Escort vehicles run $500/day. That's $10K-$15K out of pocket before the shipper pays you anything. We front those costs in 24 hours.
DOT Inspections Don't Give You Two Weeks
Your deck is warped and DOT flagged it. Re-decking costs $8K and you've got 3 loads booked this week. We fund emergency repairs fast enough to keep you legal and earning.
Heavy Haul Pays Net-45 on Five-Figure Loads
You delivered a $28K load but the shipper pays net-45. Meanwhile permits, fuel, and escort fees for the next load are due now. We bridge that gap without touching your freight margins.

Flatbed / Heavy Haul Business Loan FAQs
Flatbed & Heavy Haul Trucking Loans — $10K to $5M+
You just landed an 18-load wind turbine contract worth $216K. But you need a $95K step-deck and $8K in securement gear before load one ships. Your bank wants to think about it for 6 weeks. The shipper wants you on-site in 3. This is the flatbed dilemma — the best-paying loads require the most capital upfront.
And the costs don't stop at trailers. Oversize permits run $1,500-$5,000 per load. Escort vehicles cost $500/day. Route surveys, police escorts, utility line coordination — all out of pocket before the shipper pays you a dime. We've financed $95K step-decks, $15K permit packages for 150,000-lb transformer moves, and $8K emergency re-deckings when DOT flagged a warped deck mid-week. One application. No hard pull. Your heavy iron keeps moving.
