COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PARTNER NETWORK
Connecting Commercial Operators, Equipment, Capital & Coverage.
GladHands Fleet brings commercial vehicle dealerships, manufacturers, finance companies, insurance providers, and qualified commercial operators together through one growing ecosystem.
More opportunities. More completed transactions. More ways for partners to grow.
THE PROCESS
How GladHands Fleet Works
01
Dealership Provides Inventory
Selected commercial vehicles can be made available through the GladHands Fleet ecosystem while remaining in the dealership's possession and control until a completed sale.
02
GladHands Develops & Qualifies Opportunities
GladHands connects participating partners with commercial operators and gathers relevant qualification information.
03
Finance Partner Evaluates the Transaction
Participating finance companies apply their own underwriting standards and make all final financing decisions.
04
Insurance Is Secured
Approved operators can connect with participating commercial insurance providers to obtain required coverage.
05
Dealership Completes the Sale
The participating dealership completes the vehicle transaction and retains its normal vehicle margin subject to the applicable partner agreement.
06
GladHands Supports the Ecosystem
GladHands provides technology, partner coordination, membership services, and agreed post-sale support.
07
Partners Can Refer Additional Members
Eligible participating partners may earn recurring referral compensation when they directly introduce qualifying members into the GladHands ecosystem, subject to program terms and applicable law.
"GladHands Fleet doesn't replace the dealer, lender, or insurance provider. It connects them around commercially viable opportunities and gives each partner another way to grow."
SECOND-LOOK OPPORTUNITY
Not Every Declined Buyer Is an Unqualified Buyer.
Some commercial vehicle applicants should be declined.
Others may be experienced commercial operators with demonstrated earning capacity, equipment knowledge, available working capital, viable business opportunities, or other indicators of commercial strength — while still falling outside conventional financing criteria.
GladHands Fleet is developing an additional pathway for those commercially viable opportunities.
"We are not building a 'bad credit — everyone approved' program."
GladHands Fleet is designed to identify commercially viable operators whose complete business profile may tell a larger story than a consumer credit score alone.
All financing remains subject to participating lender approval and program requirements.

GLADHANDS PATH
FOR DEALERSHIPS
Move More Commercial Inventory. Recover More Sales.
GladHands Fleet gives commercial vehicle dealerships an additional buyer and transaction channel without replacing the financing relationships and sales processes that already work.
Participating dealerships can make selected commercial trucks available through the ecosystem while maintaining possession and control of their inventory until a completed transaction.
GladHands Fleet can also provide a second-look pathway for commercially viable buyers who do not fit the dealership's existing financing programs.
TRANSACTION FEE
GladHands earns an agreed transaction fee only when a participating vehicle is successfully sold.
Flexible acquisition opportunities may be available to qualifying operators based on participating lender requirements.
DEALER BENEFITS
FOR FINANCE PARTNERS
Fund More Commercial Opportunities With Added Support.
GladHands Fleet is seeking commercial equipment finance partners interested in evaluating commercially viable operators who may fall outside conventional credit profiles but demonstrate other indicators of commercial strength.
POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL INDICATORS
Lender Independence
GladHands Fleet does not dictate underwriting. Participating lenders retain complete responsibility for underwriting, credit decisions, financing terms, compliance, and final approvals.
Pilot Support Mechanisms
GladHands Fleet's proposed pilot is also being designed to explore additional servicing, payment-intervention, and asset-recovery support, subject to final partner agreements.
Recurring Opportunity
Participating finance partners may also be eligible to earn recurring referral compensation for qualifying GladHands members they directly introduce to the ecosystem, subject to final agreements and applicable law.
FOR INSURANCE PARTNERS
Meet Commercial Operators at the Point They Need Coverage.
Every successful commercial vehicle transaction requires appropriate insurance.
GladHands Fleet connects participating commercial insurance agencies with owner-operators, small fleets, and commercial transportation businesses acquiring and expanding equipment.
Founding Partner Offer
Founding insurance partners may receive complimentary featured placement during the six-month pilot.
PARTNER BENEFITS

FOR MANUFACTURERS
Create Another Channel for Commercial Vehicle Demand.

The pilot initially focuses on commercial trucks and trailers.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
PARTNER REFERRAL OPPORTUNITY
Grow With the Ecosystem.
GladHands Fleet is being designed so participating partners can benefit beyond an individual transaction.
Eligible dealerships, finance partners, insurance partners, and approved referral partners may earn recurring compensation when they directly introduce qualifying members to the GladHands ecosystem.
The objective is simple: When partners help grow the ecosystem, they should have an opportunity to participate in the value they helped create.
Recurring referral compensation available to eligible participating partners under applicable program terms.
SIX-MONTH PILOT
6-Month Pilot — Start Small. Prove the Model. Scale What Works.

The objective is to prove the ecosystem using real transactions and real partner data before aggressively scaling.
FOR DEALERSHIPS
Start with as few as 1–3 commercial vehicles. If GladHands produces qualified opportunities and successful transactions, additional inventory can be added based on partner capacity and demand.
COMMITMENT LEVEL
Low initial commitment. Real-world testing. Performance-driven expansion.
