FedEx owner-operators (Independent Service Providers or ISPs) are smart and resourceful. They know running a FedEx business can be lucrative and seek out new FedEx ground routes for sale. But after they’ve owned their FedEx home delivery company for a while, many find that financing a new or used truck can get a little tricky.

Obviously, if you’re operating a FedEx delivery service, you need a FedEx delivery truck. But, of course, while it’s more economical to buy used FedEx ground trucks or FedEx box trucks, getting financing for them may be challenging. And buying new trucks often requires paying a 20% down payment.

Luckily, Financing Solutions can help by providing either new or used FedEx truck financing through our line of credit product, so operators can put a down payment on a new truck or purchase a used one. The best part about the line of credit product is it can be used for anything and it doesn’t cost anything when not being used.

Expanding Your Business as a FedEx Contractor

It’s likely most of you reading this are single owners/operators offering pickup and delivery (P&D) services for FedEx. But, if your goal is to grow your FedEx delivery service business by purchasing additional routes (FedEx lists routes in need of P&D across the country on its website), you’ll need additional FedEx vans or FedEx delivery trucks to provide the service.

As you expand your FedEx ISP business, your corporation is responsible for hiringused fedex truck financing additional personnel and purchasing or leasing your own FedEx ground trucks. Your corporation is also responsible for covering all insurance costs, employer costs, vehicle maintenance, and driver training for your staff.

It’s financially savvy to build your fleet by finding used FedEx trucks for sale or even used UPS trucks for sale. Finding a FedEx truck for sale isn’t as hard as it sounds. First, ask your fellow independent service providers if they have vehicles for sale. Many may decide to upgrade their current vehicles and are happy to sell their older ones.

Buying a Used FedEx Van/Truck

Building a fleet for your expanding FedEx ground business takes research and creative financing solutions. Whether you can afford to purchase new vehicles or need to buy used ones is a decision best made after consulting with your accountant. However, purchasing a new vehicle can use up most of your business’s working capital. And while buying a used FedEx van or FedEx truck can still run you between $20,000 to $40,000, those used vehicles are more likely to come with the interior customizations required for a commercial transportation vehicle.

Why You Should Consider Financing Solutions for FedEx Van/Truck Financing

FedEx ground contractors looking to buy used vans or trucks can find financing for these vehicles using a line of credit product from Financing Solutions. Having a line of credit can not only help finance building your fleet of vans and trucks, but it can also address paying for short-term expenses like tires, maintenance, and other everyday business expenditures.
