★ 6-MONTH COMPANY DRIVER TRIAL FIRST

Start as a Driver. Finish as an Owner.

Lease Purchase Program

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.

  • Start as a company driver — no pressure, no rush
  • Six months to learn the ropes — earning real pay the whole time
  • No rush to buy — step into ownership when it's right for you
  • Step deck equipment built for the freight you'll haul
  • Honest lease terms, spelled out up front — no fine print, no games
  • Keep your fuel discounts through the entire lease
  • A dispatch team in your corner from day one to payoff

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.
