Step deck freight with strong miles, fair pay, and a proven path to owning your own truck — backed by Herren Enterprises, a family-owned carrier in Crooks, SD.
Step deck isn't a sideline for us — it's everything we run. At Herren Enterprises, Inc, we've built our reputation hauling step deck freight across the country. We know what it takes to run step deck equipment and we're looking for professional drivers who do too.
Whether you're looking to drive as a company driver, run your own truck as an owner-operator, or eventually own your own equipment through our lease purchase program — we have a path for you.
We keep it simple: good miles, fair pay, and people who treat you right. Give us a call or fill out our short application below to get started.
Select the driver type that fits you best
Join the Herren Enterprises team as a company driver and haul step deck freight with consistent miles and a supportive dispatch team behind you.
Run your business your way. Herren Enterprises partners with experienced owner-operators who have their own step deck equipment and want consistent freight without the hassle of finding loads.
Start as a Driver. Finish as an Owner.
Our lease purchase program is designed for drivers who want to eventually own their own truck — but we do it the right way. You start as a company driver for 6 months first, giving you time to learn our routes, our freight, and decide if ownership is right for you.
After your 6-month trial as a company driver, you'll have the option to transition into our lease purchase program and begin building equity in your own step deck truck.
A program that's proven. Several of our owner-operators have run with Herren for 15+ years — and in that time they've lease-purchased, bought out, and fully paid off multiple trucks and trailers. They'll gladly vouch for this program firsthand.
23% of gross or 60¢/mile guaranteed — whichever is greater
No dry van, no flatbed switches
We're not just looking for trucks — we're looking for partners. At Herren Enterprises, owner-operators are treated with the same respect as company drivers. You get the freight, the support, and the freedom to run your business.
"They are not just contractors — they are the bedrock of our fleet and the heartbeat of our family culture."
We often say we are Built on the Open Road and Driven by Family, but the true foundation of our success rests with our elite owner-operators. For over nearly two decades, these dedicated drivers have invested their miles, their trucks, and their trust into building this company from the ground up.
