Why local matters

Built for the way Florida 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.

Florida freight corridors and lane economics we understand

We track deadhead rates, backhaul availability, and seasonal demand on I-95 Jacksonville–Miami and the I-10 Jacksonville–Tallahassee. 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 Tampa

Port Tampa Bay drayage and I-4 produce/construction freight peaks add maintenance load Q1 and Q4. That shows up as I-4 corridor congestion costs and seasonal tire wear from peak produce haulson your P&L. We account for it in the file we send to lenders, so “revenue dropped in March” reads as seasonality, not risk.

Bank decline is fine

Why banks decline trucking businesses (and why it's rarely a credit problem)

Most Tampa owner-operators who come through us were turned away by the same two or three Floridabanks. 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.

  1. 01

    Banks want two years of clean tax returns.

    Half of Floridaowner-operators haven't filed the way a bank wants to read it. Our lenders read bank statements instead — and accept Florida IFTA returns as revenue verification.

  2. 02

    Banks don't underwrite equipment they can't park at a branch.

    A Tampa-registered tractor is a balance-sheet risk to a bank. To our lenders, it's a working asset they've seen a thousand times.

  3. 03

    Banks treat factoring receivables as “not real revenue.”

    If you're factoring through RTS Financial or similar, our lenders already have those statements in their pipeline format. It counts.

  4. 04

    Banks need 60–90 days. You need it Thursday.

    Dispatched's median time to funds in Florida over the last 90 days is 31 hours. From the chat to the wire.

FAQ · Florida

Questions Florida 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 Florida specifically, our 90-day median is 31 hours.
What APR range should I expect?
Offers on our panel typically fall in the 1535% 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 FloridaIs commercial lending even licensed in Florida?
Yes. Commercial working-capital loans to Florida-registered businesses are regulated under the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (Fla. Stat. ch. 516, 537). Every lender on our panel that funds in Florida either holds the required OFR consumer finance or commercial lender registration or operates under the applicable exemption. You can request the license number on any offer before signing.
Local to FloridaHow do Florida sales tax and fuel tax credits affect my application?
Florida exempts common-carrier freight from sales tax, 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 Florida Department of Revenuefilings, 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.
