This is totally fine. It's a risky investment from the point of view of the bank. The truck is depreciating, it could be stolen or destroyed, the cost of repossessing the truck and selling it in case of default is significant. There is a risk of inflation and it's a fixed rate.

This company needs a Chief Naming Officer. How about OpenAI Descartes, or Socrates, or Zeno, or Hamlet or Aphrodite or Jesus or Vortigern Clankspindle. OpenAI you know where to find me.
