Illinois has 62,300 registered owner-operators. Dispatched has matched 384 of them with capital in the last 90 days.
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.
We track deadhead rates, backhaul availability, and seasonal demand on I-80 Chicago–Quad Cities and the I-55 Chicago–St. Louis. When your revenue dips because the lane dipped, underwriters on our panel know the difference between a soft month and a struggling business.
BNSF/UP intermodal ramp volume around Chicago plus harsh winter brine corrosion concentrate physical-damage and chassis costs. That shows up as winter corrosion-related component replacement and elevated insurance exposure on intermodal laneson your P&L. We account for it in the file we send to lenders, so “revenue dropped in January” reads as seasonality, not risk.
13 lenders on our panel are actively funding Illinois-registered carriers this quarter, including Midwest Freight Capital and Lakeshore Commercial Lending. They already know how your DOT and MC numbers look when everything's in order.
Most Chicago owner-operators who come through us were turned away by the same two or three Illinoisbanks. 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.
Half of Illinoisowner-operators haven't filed the way a bank wants to read it. Our lenders read bank statements instead — and accept Illinois IFTA returns as revenue verification.
A Chicago-registered tractor is a balance-sheet risk to a bank. To our lenders, it's a working asset they've seen a thousand times.
If you're factoring through TAFS Inc. or similar, our lenders already have those statements in their pipeline format. It counts.
Dispatched's median time to funds in Illinois over the last 90 days is 30 hours. From the chat to the wire.
