Why local matters
Built for the way California trucking actually works
We're not a national form tuned for averages. The lenders on our panel price your business the way a local underwriter would — because that's usually who's funding it.
California freight corridors and lane economics we understand
We track deadhead rates, backhaul availability, and seasonal demand on I-5 Central Valley and the SR-99 Bakersfield–Sacramento. When your revenue dips because the lane dipped, underwriters on our panel know the difference between a soft month and a struggling business.

Weather, equipment, and repair cost context for San Diego
Otay Mesa cross-border drayage to Tijuana plus marine-air corrosion drive higher chassis and brake-system service frequency. That shows up as border-wait dwell and recurring corrosion-related component replacementon your P&L. We account for it in the file we send to lenders, so “revenue dropped in September” reads as seasonality, not risk.
Avg San Diego repair ticket tracked: $2,920
Local lenders on our panel familiar with California registrations
12 lenders on our panel are actively funding California-registered carriers this quarter, including Central Valley Commercial Finance and Pacific Freight Capital. They already know how your DOT and MC numbers look when everything's in order.
Most San Diego owner-operators who come through us were turned away by the same two or three Californiabanks. Not because they're bad borrowers — because of how banks underwrite.
The lenders on our panel underwrite the business, not just the FICO. Your BOLs, factoring history, fuel card, and 1099s tell a story a bank's credit model was never built to read.
01
Banks want two years of clean tax returns.
Half of Californiaowner-operators haven't filed the way a bank wants to read it. Our lenders read bank statements instead — and accept California IFTA returns as revenue verification.
02
Banks don't underwrite equipment they can't park at a branch.
A San Diego-registered tractor is a balance-sheet risk to a bank. To our lenders, it's a working asset they've seen a thousand times.
03
Banks treat factoring receivables as “not real revenue.”
If you're factoring through OTR Capital or similar, our lenders already have those statements in their pipeline format. It counts.
04
Banks need 60–90 days. You need it Thursday.
Dispatched's median time to funds in California over the last 90 days is 34 hours. From the chat to the wire.

You see every term before you sign

FAQ · California
Questions California operators actually ask
Can't find it? Call (555) 010‑4477 — someone who funds trucking for a living will pick up.
Do you actually fund me, or is this a broker site?
Neither. We're a matchmaker. Lenders on our panel fund you directly — we're paid by them on close, not by you. You never pay Dispatched, and your info does not go to a broker pool.
How much can I get and how fast?
$25,000 to $250,000 for owner-operators and small fleets. Typically funded in 24–48 hours from the moment you finish the chat intake. In California specifically, our 90-day median is 34 hours.
What APR range should I expect?
Offers on our panel typically fall in the 14–33% APR range for qualified owner-operators and small fleets. Your specific rate depends on time in business, monthly revenue, credit, and which lender matches. You'll see the full APR, total cost, payment schedule, and any prepayment terms on every offer beforeyou agree to anything — not after. If a lender won't show those up front, we don't work with them.
My bank declined me. Will that hurt my chances here?
No. It's the reason we built this. Most of our volume is operators the banks passed on. Our lenders read bank statements and freight documents, not just credit scores.
Is the credit check a hard pull?
Soft pull to check eligibility. Hard pull only happens after you pick a specific lender and agree to move forward. No surprises.
What documents do I need?
Three months of business bank statements, your MC and DOT numbers, EIN, and a recent BOL or factoring statement. That's usually it. No tax returns required for most offers.
Local to CaliforniaIs commercial lending even licensed in California?
Yes. Commercial working-capital loans to California-registered businesses are regulated under the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (Cal. Fin. Code § 22000 et seq. (CFL)). Every lender on our panel that funds in California either holds the required California Financing Law license or operates under the applicable exemption. You can request the license number on any offer before signing.
Local to CaliforniaHow do California sales tax and fuel tax credits affect my application?
California has a commercial-financing disclosure law (SB 1235) that requires APR and total-cost disclosure before you sign, and your IFTA fuel tax credits show up in quarterly refunds that our lenders treat as part of your cash flow — not as a wash. If you're behind on California Department of Tax and Fee Administrationfilings, it's not an automatic decline; several lenders on our panel have funded borrowers with an active payment plan. Mention it in the chat and we'll route you to lenders who've funded similar situations this quarter.
