Lease Purchase Truck Driver Overview

  • Strong weekly take-home while you build ownership. Lease Purchase drivers average $1,400-$1,650 in weekly take-home pay, combining mileage pay, fuel surcharge, and accessorial earnings.
  • Mileage pay that rewards every mile. Earn $1.30CPM + fuel surcharge on all miles, with safety and on-time performance bonuses built into the rate.
  • Freight that keeps you moving. Run 100% no-touch dry van freight with 60% drop & hook, cutting dock time and keeping your wheels turning..
  • Predictable resets that fit the road. Get home weekly for a 34 hr reset, so you recharge without slowing down your earning momentum.
  • Get paid to get rolling. Start with a $5,000 sign-on bonus plus $500 paid orientation as you transition into your truck.

Lease Purchase Program Details

  • Low-barrier entry, no surprises. Get started with no money down, no credit check, and a true walk-away lease - no balloon payment required.
  • Payments that stay manageable. Weekly truck payments start as low as $534/week after incentives, with fixed or per-mile payment options available.
  • Shorter paths to ownership. Choose lease terms from 2.3 - 5.5 years, depending on the truck and payment structure you select.
  • Maintenance protection built in. A full-service bumper-to-bumper maintenance program ($0.07-$0.14/mi) helps control costs and reduce unexpected expenses.
  • Late-model equipment. Drive 2023-2025 Freightliner and International trucks, spec'd for comfort and reliability.
  • Bring family along. Rider and pet policies available so you don't have to run solo.
