Job Description

HARPERS is a dynamic and forward-thinking transportation company that partners with drivers through its innovative lease purchase program. By collaborating with one of the largest carriers in the country, HARPERS offers lease contractors access to one of the most expansive freight networks nationwide. This unique opportunity allows drivers to enjoy the benefits of a mega carrier combined with the personalized experience of a small fleet environment. HARPERS prioritizes its lease purchase drivers by providing comprehensive support and streamlined processes to ensure their success and growth within the trucking industry.

The Over-The-Road (OTR) Reefer Lease Purchase Driver position at HARPERS is designed for business-minded individuals eager to take control of their careers by becoming truck owners while earning competitive compensation. Drivers in this role can expect to earn 82 percent of the gross line haul plus 100 percent of the fuel surcharge, hauling refrigerated freight exclusively. HARPERS simplifies the pathway to ownership with zero money down and no credit checks required, making it accessible for qualified drivers to join the program and start earning immediately.

This role offers numerous benefits that enhance the driving experience and support driver productivity. Contractors have access to 2023 to 2026 model trucks, all equipped with automatic transmissions for ease and comfort. HARPERS provides its drivers with customer trailers at no rental fee and maintains a dedicated fleet manager assigned to each driver to ensure consistent freight loads and minimal deadhead miles. With terminals in all major markets and significant fuel discounts of up to one dollar per gallon, drivers are well-equipped to maximize their earnings and efficiency.

Additional perks include 50 percent drop-and-hook no-touch freight options, pre-loaded trailers to reduce wait times, and 24/7 dispatch support to provide assistance whenever needed. Harpers also offers a $1 balloon payment at lease end, manufacturer warranties on trucks, and zero out-of-pocket maintenance costs, further reducing the financial burden on drivers. This comprehensive support system encourages drivers to thrive by focusing on managing their businesses confidently while growing toward full truck ownership.

The OTR Reefer Lease Purchase Driver role is best suited for CDL-A licensed professionals with at least two years of experience driving OTR routes. Applicants must demonstrate a clean driving record with no more than three moving violations and two preventable accidents in the last three years. All driver records are reviewed individually to ensure the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Lease agreements range from 3 to 4 years with transparent, upfront costs and no hidden fees. The program welcomes owner-operators, emphasizing flexibility and support in a demanding industry.

In summary, joining HARPERS as an OTR Reefer Lease Purchase Driver means becoming part of a trusted national freight network while enjoying the autonomy and financial rewards of truck ownership.
