Questions Carriers Ask
Clear answers on truck age, money down, combined tractor-and-trailer files, lease structures, and credit paths before you send the equipment package.
Can I finance a 567 configured as a concrete mixer?
Yes. Ready-mix 567 builds are fundable. The mixer drum and hydraulics add to the overall deal value. We typically look at the truck chassis and the body spec together when evaluating the collateral.
My 567 runs oil and gas haul on gravel pad roads. Will that hurt my financing terms?
Off-road and severe-duty environments are factored into how lenders view vocational trucks. The key is honest documentation of the truck's condition. A well-maintained 567 with documented service in a demanding environment is a fundable asset. Deferred maintenance in a tough environment raises more concern than the environment itself.
Can I finance the dump body separately from the 567 chassis?
We can often bundle the chassis and body into one deal, which simplifies the process and may produce better terms than two separate applications. If the body is going through a different vendor, we can still finance them together as long as we have pricing for both components.
I have a construction contract starting in eight weeks. Can you close a 567 deal that fast?
Eight weeks is comfortable for most 567 deals. Our standard timeline from application to funding is about one to two weeks assuming the truck is identified and the title path is clear. Apply early, give us the deal details, and we handle it.
What happens to my 567 financing if the construction season is slow and I miss a payment?
Communication is the key. If you know a slow month is coming, contact us in advance. Lenders have more flexibility when they hear from borrowers early than when a payment goes delinquent without warning. We are not here to repossess trucks; we are here to get the deal to maturity.
Peterbilt built the 567 to replace the 367 in the severe-duty vocational market, and it did the job. The 567 covers construction, aggregate, oil and gas, logging, and heavy-haul applications where the truck works hard every day in conditions that would stress a highway tractor into the shop. It handles dump configurations, ready-mix setups, heavy haul specs with tag and pusher axles, and crane carrier builds. If the job is rough and the truck needs to last in it, the 567 is one of the tools people reach for.
Financing a 567 is a vocational truck deal, and we do those. The use case, the configuration, and the specific duty cycle all factor into how we evaluate the truck and structure the terms. Tell us what the 567 is doing, what it is spec'd as, and where it is working. We get to a decision in 24 to 48 hours. Document-ready closing.
The 567 is available with PACCAR MX-13 engine options (up to 510 hp) and the Cummins X15 in both standard and Performance configurations (up to 605 hp, 2,050 lb-ft). The Cummins X15 Performance is the spec that contractors pulling the heaviest loads choose, because peak torque on a grade is the performance metric that matters on a job site, not highway cruise economy.
Peterbilt offers the 567 in both set-forward and set-back front axle configurations, which matters for how the truck behaves in a dump or mixer spec. Set-forward axle improves curb-to-curb turning radius, useful for construction sites with tight access. Set-back axle is more common on highway and heavy haul applications where turning geometry is less critical.
The 567's frame is designed for severe-duty use: heavier rails than the 389 or 579, stronger suspension mounting points, and frame configurations that support the body types vocational operators need. Tag axle and pusher axle provisions are built in, not bolted on as an afterthought. This matters when you are running a tri-axle dump on a state aggregate contract where axle weight compliance is checked at the gate.
For oil and gas operators running the 567 in Equipment Options configurations or as a prime mover for oilfield equipment, the high-torque Cummins X15 Platform is the standard choice. Frac sand logistics operators and water haulers in basins like the Permian and Haynesville also run 567 platforms.
- PACCAR MX-13 up to 510 hp or Cummins X15 Performance up to 605 hp / 2,050 lb-ft
- Set-forward or set-back front axle options
- Heavy-duty frame rails rated for severe-duty vocational applications
- Tag and pusher axle provisions built into the platform
- Common builds: dump, ready-mix, heavy haul, crane carrier, tanker
The Peterbilt 567 buyer is running a business where the truck is a tool, not a lifestyle statement. Aggregate quarry operators who need a tri-axle dump that shows up every day and loads without drama. Ready-mix concrete companies who need a Peterbilt-platform mixer because their mechanics know the PACCAR drivetrain and the dealership is nearby. Oil and gas service contractors who need a heavy prime mover that can handle permitted loads between well sites on unpaved pad roads.
Contractors who win road construction and infrastructure projects frequently spec 567 dumps because state DOT work requires reliable equipment with documented service histories that can pass pre-contract equipment reviews. A 567 with full factory maintenance records is an easier conversation with a state DOT purchasing agent than a mystery truck with gaps in its service file. Operators comparing the 567 to the Financing Options should note that the 567 is the purpose-built vocational platform while the 389 skews more toward highway and flatbed work.
Logging operations in the Northwest run 567 configurations for short-haul log transfer from forest to mill. The truck's heavy-duty frame and axle options handle loaded log weights that a lighter vocational platform cannot sustain over repeated cycles. Get Fleet Terms who move oversized industrial equipment, transformers, or production modules also spec the 567 with appropriate axle and suspension upgrades.
A new Peterbilt 567 in dump or heavy haul configuration typically prices between $160,000 and $220,000 depending on axle count, engine, and body spec. A ready-mix build with drum and hydraulics sits at the high end. Used 567 units from 2016 to 2021 trade running about $80k to $145k depending on configuration, mileage, and how hard the duty cycle has been.
We handle vocational truck financing with the same application structure as OTR deals: completed application, three months of business bank statements, and details on the truck. Deals up to approximately $400,000 move application-only without requiring tax returns. We can decide in 24 to 48 hours on most 567 deals and close after completed truck documents.
For operators financing a 567 alongside body equipment such as a dump body, mixer drum, or crane, we can often package the complete truck-and-body in a single deal. A 567 rolling chassis plus a purpose-built dump body from a body manufacturer can both sit in the same financing structure, which simplifies the deal and may improve terms versus financing them separately.
Fleet buyers adding multiple 567 units for a project contract can use semi fleet financing to bundle the units. Bundled purchases often move faster through underwriting than individual applications and can present better terms when the aggregate deal size justifies them.

Credit Profiles and Documentation for 567 Deals
Vocational truck operators sometimes have more irregular revenue patterns than OTR carriers because construction and project-based work comes in cycles. Spring and summer construction seasons drive revenue; winter can be slower. Lenders who do not understand this sometimes penalize operators for income seasonality that is completely normal for the industry. We factor in the seasonal pattern when reviewing bank statements.
challenged credit operators who work in construction, aggregate, or oil and gas fields often have solid revenue histories even if the credit score does not tell the whole story. non-prime truck financing programs are designed for situations where the cash flow is real and the credit file has some history but the score alone does not open prime-tier doors.
On used 567 deals, maintenance documentation carries extra weight. Vocational trucks that have been run hard need complete service records to support their valuation. We ask for whatever records the seller can provide and work with what is available. Missing records narrow the terms but do not necessarily kill the deal.
Dump spec, mixer, heavy haul, or crane carrier, the 567 is built for it and we finance it. Minimum deal $50,000. Challenged credit considered. Submit your application today. See all Peterbilt financing programs.
