[SK] Need advice financing a 5-ton truck in Canada
I’m trying to finance a 5-ton truck for a business and have been rejected multiple times.
I have:
780 credit score
Around $100K in my bank account
A 3-year contract with a medical company providing consistent work/revenue
Despite this, lenders keep declining the application. The explanation I’m getting is that trucking is no longer considered profitable, and some lenders have apparently stopped financing trucking altogether.
The biggest issue is that every application results in another hard credit check.
Has anyone in Canada recently financed a 5-ton truck?
I’m looking for recommendations for:
Banks or credit unions that finance 5-ton/commercial trucks
Commercial truck financing companies
Brokers who specialize in truck financing
Lenders that can review the application or pre-qualify me before doing a hard credit check
I have a strong credit score, substantial cash available, and a 3-year contract, so I’m trying to understand what financing options are actually available.
Any recommendations or recent experiences would be really appreciated.
