How a Queensland Transport Business Financed 3 New Trucks in Under 3 Weeks

A regional Queensland transport operator had won a new freight contract that required expanding their fleet by three trucks within a month. Cash reserves were tied up in existing operations, and their usual bank had quoted a six-week approval timeline — too slow to meet the contract's start date.

The business submitted a single enquiry through Asset Connect Australia. Our team reviewed the details — three second-hand prime movers, an established ABN, and a signed freight contract as evidence of future income — and connected the business with an independent asset finance specialist experienced in transport and logistics lending.

The specialist discussed a possible chattel mortgage across all three vehicles, subject to provider assessment, documentation and approval. In this example, settlement was completed in under three weeks — an outcome that is not guaranteed and depends on the provider and applicant circumstances. Details have been generalised to protect client privacy.

This illustrates how a connection with a specialist may help an applicant explore a time-sensitive requirement; it is not a promise of approval, pricing or timing.
