Owning your own truck takes grit. Long days, long nights, tight schedules, and a lot of responsibility are part of the job. Many owner-operators face hurdles when applying for semi truck financing, especially when winter sets in and road conditions become challenging. Drivers often follow every rule and submit all required paperwork, yet still face delays. This happens as lenders work through strict paperwork and requirements that sometimes do not match the fast pace of real life on the highway. The challenges come at a time of cold weather, where timely financing is crucial to keep trucks working and businesses steady. Money In Motion Inc. was created to support small and medium-sized businesses that face such issues with banks. With real industry experience, the team understands how winter conditions and long runs can affect truck operations beyond just the numbers on a screen.

Steps to Lease Farm Equipment Ahead of Spring in Canada
Spring comes fast on Canadian farms. One day the fields are frozen and quiet, and then the ground softens with the promise of new work. When the rush comes, it helps to have plans, paperwork, and equipment ready to go. Leasing farm equipment offers access to the machines you need without the burden of buying everything at once. In December, when the days are short and work has slowed because of cold weather, the season gives you a chance to plan.
Use this quiet time to consider what equipment will help you through a busy spring. Getting organized in winter means fewer rushed decisions when the thaw finally begins.

Many crews face the challenge of keeping their equipment reliable and safe during these frigid months. We know that cold starts, stiff hoses, and sudden breakdowns can disrupt a busy schedule. That is why it is important to know what to watch for and how to prepare before and during the deep cold. Keeping your excavator operational in this climate requires extra care and routine checks so that your operations remain smooth, even when winter calls for caution.

What Happened To All The Used Trucks?
As many of our long-time partners and competitors read this post they will likely say…oh boy, what is Chisholm talking about now but I felt it was a good idea to share some insight into our marketplace as I see it. I have been a leasing guy all of my life and the truck market throughout the years for me has always been an interesting indicator as to what is really going on with the economy. Having leased thousands of trucks over the years both on our books and on our partner’s books it is becoming painfully obvious that good used trucks are harder and harder to find.
