WHO THIS IS FOR

Truck Finance Built for Melbourne and Victorian Operators

The right truck won't wait. Neither should your finance.

FAQs

Have Questions?

Can I finance a truck for port cartage work in Melbourne?
Yes. We finance trucks used for container cartage from Melbourne Port and Webb Dock, construction haulage, refrigerated deliveries and general freight across Victoria. We understand the earning potential of trucks servicing Melbourne's busy logistics corridors.
What if I am an owner-driver with only 1-2 years of ABN history?
We specialise in newer ABN holders. If you have industry experience and a signed subcontractor agreement or ongoing work, we can often get approval even with limited trading history.
Do you finance trucks bought from interstate dealers?
Absolutely. Many Melbourne operators source trucks from dealers in Brisbane, Sydney or Perth where specific models may be more readily available. We finance interstate purchases and can settle directly with the selling dealer.
What types of trucks can I finance in Melbourne?
We finance all truck types including prime movers, tippers, rigid trucks, light commercials, refrigerated trucks, tautliners, concrete agitators and more. Whether you need a single vehicle or an entire fleet, we can structure finance to suit your requirements.
What is the difference between a chattel mortgage and a finance lease?
A chattel mortgage gives you ownership from day one and lets you claim GST upfront. A finance lease keeps the asset off your balance sheet. The best option depends on your tax position and we will walk you through both.
How quickly can I get a truck on the road with finance?
For straightforward applications, we can provide same-day approval and settle within 24 to 48 hours. If you have found the right truck, we move fast so you do not lose it.
