Success Story: Renaissance Business Loan Allows Tupelo Entrepreneur to Keep on Trucking

​Marcus Bell has had a love for trucks and trucking ever since he was a little boy. His father has been driving a truck for over 47 years, and he would take Marcus with him on his out of town trips. This seed of love for the trucking industry was planted at an early age, and it continued to grow. Marcus has now been driving on his own for 20 years.

After driving for various companies over the years and continuing  to build on his knowledge of the industry, Marcus knew that it was time he combined his passion for trucking and his extensive experience into something more substantial and long-term. He founded Bell Trucking in 2013 and purchased the company’s first truck. He was also awarded a Gold Star of Achievement for excellent customer service.

Five years and many more miles later, Bell Trucking, with the help of Renaissance’s flexible underwriting and personal one-one-one financial counseling, purchased a brand new, state-of-the-art truck. The new truck not only allows Marcus and Bell Trucking to continue providing excellent customer service for their clients, but affords them the peace of mind knowing they have dependable equipment to grow the business for years to come.
