Proprietary Research, Actionable Insight
After 30 months of deferred purchases, SMB transportation operators are facing a fleet age crisis—6.8 years average, 34% of tractors past 600,000 miles. The maintenance math has flipped. Replacement is no longer optional.
This report shows equipment financiers where the opportunity is and how to capture it: CapEx intent by equipment type, purchase timing, and transaction size. Financial performance benchmarks that separate financeable operators from credit risks. Competitive landscape analysis—captive vs. bank vs. independent market dynamics, and the TRAC lease education gap that’s shifting structure preferences.
Plus what you won’t find anywhere else: the voice of the customer. Fleet operators in their own words, explaining how financing decisions actually get made.
