Equipment Leasing

Lease the truck, trailer, or machine you need and own it at the end of the term. Fixed monthly payments, a low amount down, and a buyout that is agreed and written into your lease before you sign.

What is Equipment Leasing?

Equipment leasing lets you put a truck, trailer, or machine to work with less cash up front than an outright purchase — and every lease we arrange is lease-to-own: you take ownership at the end of the term.

You choose the equipment from any vendor or private seller, we structure fixed monthly payments with a low amount down, and the end-of-term buyout is agreed and written into your lease agreement before you sign — so there are no surprises at the end.

TruCapital arranges leasing for Canadian owner-operators, carriers, and contractors, with programs for new and used equipment and all credit situations, subject to approval.

Who this service is for

Operators who want a lower upfront cost than a purchase

Frequently asked questions

Do I own the equipment at the end?

Yes. Every lease we arrange is lease-to-own — you take ownership at the end of the term. There is no return option and no upgrade-at-term-end.

What is the buyout at the end of the term?

The buyout is set by the lessor and written into your lease agreement before you sign, so you know it up front. It varies by lessor and by the equipment, so we do not quote a figure here — your advisor confirms it with your offer.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Down payments typically range from 0% to 10% on approved credit, depending on credit, time in business, and the equipment.

How is a lease treated for tax?

Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and current accounting rules — please confirm how a lease affects your business with your own accountant. TruCapital does not provide tax advice.

How fast can I get approved?

Most applications receive a decision in 24–48 hours once your documents, including Articles of Incorporation, are ready. Approval timing is not guaranteed and is subject to credit.

Can I lease a used or private-sale unit?

Yes. We lease new and used equipment, including units bought from a private seller, subject to inspection and a clean title.
