Job Description

HARPERS is a prominent trucking company deeply invested in the success of lease purchase drivers who are looking to become owners-operators in the freight industry. As a member of our team, drivers experience the best of both worlds: the benefits of partnering with a large mega carrier coupled with the personal touch and atmosphere of a small fleet. Our collaboration with one of the largest carriers in the country ensures our partner contractors have access to one of the largest and most reliable freight networks nationwide. With this extensive network, drivers are guaranteed steady loads without the hassle of brokered freight, allowing them to generate consistent income and maintain a productive schedule.

Our lease purchase program is designed with business-minded drivers in mind. We make it incredibly easy for drivers to get started with zero money down and no credit check, eliminating many of the common barriers to entry in the trucking industry. Drivers earn 82 percent of the gross line haul plus 100 percent of the fuel surcharge, with 100 percent refrigerated freight, which means lucrative opportunities hauling temperature-sensitive goods across the continent. Our dedicated fleet managers work closely with drivers to keep them loaded, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum earnings. Drivers use customer trailers with zero rental fees and operate late-model trucks from the years 2023 to 2026, all equipped with automatic transmissions for easier handling and a more comfortable driving experience.

As a lease purchase driver at HARPERS, you are provided with significant additional benefits that enhance your safety, convenience, and profitability. These perks include terminal locations in all major markets for easy access and support; fuel discounts of up to one dollar off per gallon plus additional savings; and a freight system that includes 50 percent drop and hook no-touch freight, which reduces waiting times and increases efficiency. Moreover, drivers benefit from pre-loaded trailers, 24-hour support systems, and 24/7 dispatch to aid in swift problem resolution and uninterrupted operations. Lease purchase participants are assured of a transparent program with no hidden fees, all costs are communicated upfront, and the lease terms include a 100 percent walk-away option after three to four years. There's no interest, no down payment, and a modest one-dollar balloon payment at the end of the lease, making the pathway to truck ownership achievable and affordable.

HARPERS is committed to supporting drivers every step of the way, from the leasing process to daily operations. The program is perfect for experienced OTR (over-the-road) drivers who hold a CDL-A license with at least two years of driving experience and who maintain a safe driving record. We carefully review all driver records to ensure a safe and reliable team. Owner-operators are also welcome to join this program and leverage the extensive freight network and resources offered. By joining HARPERS lease purchase program, drivers become valuable business partners with the freedom to manage their own operation while benefiting from the strength and support of a large carrier network. This unique structure not only helps drivers earn competitive pay but also supports their long-term goal of truck ownership and independence in the trucking industry.
