Job Description

HARPERS is a leading company in the transportation industry, focusing on providing excellent opportunities for truck drivers through lease purchase programs. As a dynamic and forward-thinking business, HARPERS partners with one of the largest carriers in the United States to offer an expansive freight network that spans nationwide. This partnership gives drivers access to a vast pool of freight loads without the hassle of brokered freight, ensuring steady work and reliable income. Founded with the goal of combining the benefits of a mega carrier with a small fleet atmosphere, HARPERS prides itself on supporting its drivers like family, emphasizing business partnership and growth.

HARPERS is currently seeking OTR (Over-The-Road) Reefer Lease Purchase Drivers to join its team of lease contractors. This opportunity is ideal for business-minded drivers who want to take the next step in their careers by becoming truck owners while benefiting from competitive pay and excellent support systems. The role offers drivers the chance to earn 82% of gross line haul plus 100% fuel surcharge, which translates into substantial earning potential. Drivers will be hauling 100% refrigerated freight, ensuring specialization in temperature-controlled freight transportation.

The lease purchase program at HARPERS requires zero money down and no credit check, making it an accessible option for many drivers to get started. Drivers will use the customer's trailers without any rental fees and operate trucks from 2023 to 2026 models, all automatic, providing a comfortable and efficient driving experience. The company offers dedicated fleet management to keep drivers loaded with freight and provides terminals in all major markets to support operations. Other highlights include big fuel discounts, no out-of-pocket maintenance, manufacturer warranty on trucks, and a unique 50% drop and hook no touch freight system that increases convenience and efficiency on the road.

The company also provides around-the-clock dispatch and 24-hour support, ensuring drivers are never left without assistance. The lease terms range from three to four years with 100% walk-away leases and no hidden fees or interest, which adds transparency and flexibility to the arrangement. Drivers can also expect a $1 balloon payment at lease end. Owner-operators are welcome to join, reinforcing the inclusive and supportive nature of the program.

Ideal candidates will have a current CDL-A license with a minimum of two years of OTR experience. They should have no more than three moving violations and two preventable accidents in the past three years. Each driver’s record will be reviewed individually to ensure suitability for the lease program. The program prioritizes driver safety and reliability while maximizing earnings and growth potential.

This position is designed to empower lease purchase drivers to build their own trucking business with the backing of a trusted company and one of the largest freight networks in the country. HARPERS offers a unique blend of financial incentives, operational support, and truck ownership opportunities. Drivers who join the team can expect a rewarding career path with stability, flexibility, and the opportunity to grow their business in a professional and supportive environment. Those interested in becoming part of a team that values its drivers and is committed to their success should seriously consider this lease purchase opportunity at HARPERS.
