Fuel for a loaded run
Why owner-operators request $500–$5,000 for diesel, what a partner may ask, and what this site does not do.
For long-haul owner-operators who need fuel money
The load is booked. The tank is not. Request fuel money here.
7A Small Loan is built for long-haul truck owners who need cash for diesel before a broker settlement hits. We are a lead generation site, not a lender and not a fuel-card company. Submit a short request and we may pass it to lending partners.

You decide
Any offer, rate, or repayment plan comes from the lender — not from 7A.
Built for long-haul truck owners, not office borrowers
The main use is fuel money for owner-operators: diesel to pick up or finish a load when the last settlement is late. You can also request cash for a roadside repair or plates. Larger small-business or 7(a) working-capital requests are secondary. This form is not a fuel card and not an SBA application.
- U.S. resident owner-operators and small trucking companies, 18 or older
- A mobile number you answer on the road
- Freight income or settlements a lender can evaluate
- Comfort reading any offer before you take the money
Fuel money, explained for owner-operators
Long-haul trucks burn a lot of diesel before a broker pays. 7A does not put fuel in the tank. We take a fuel-money request and may introduce you to a lending partner. They decide the product, the amount, and whether they can help.
When it is more than fuel
Insurance, IFTA, a blown turbo, or a stretch of working capital can be a small-business request instead of a single fill-up.
Start a fuel-money request
Pick “Fuel for a loaded run” or “Diesel while waiting on a settlement,” add your trucking name, and submit.
Questions people ask first
Is 7A a lender?
No. 7A Small Loan is a lead generation service. We do not originate, fund, or service loans.
Will this affect my credit score?
Submitting this form on 7A does not, by itself, pull your credit. A lender you choose to continue with may run a credit inquiry. That decision and any score impact belong to that lender.
Are loans guaranteed?
No. Matching, approval, amount, APR, fees, and repayment terms are set by the lender if they make an offer.
What amounts can I request?
Most fuel-money requests are $500 to $5,000. You can ask for up to $25,000 if the need is a repair or a larger working-capital gap. A lender may offer more, less, or nothing.
I am a long-haul owner-operator. Can I request diesel money?
Yes. That is the main use of this site. Choose a fuel purpose, tell us the amount, and submit. 7A does not issue a fuel card or pay the truck stop. A lending partner may contact you if they can review the request.
Can I use 7A for an SBA 7(a) small business loan?
You can submit a 7(a) loan request here as a secondary option. 7A is not the SBA and does not file an official 7(a) application. A partner decides whether to start that review.
Will you call or text me?
If you check the consent box, 7A and lending partners may contact you by call, text, or email at the number and address you provide. Consent is optional in the sense that it is not required to get a loan from a lender. Reply STOP to end texts. Ask the caller or texter to stop if you want no further contact from that party.
