About this job

Our company LLC, in partnership with MTE-Leasing, is offering a lease-purchase opportunity for CDL-A drivers who want to run their own truck on OTR dry van freight across the lower 48 states.

Pay

  • You keep 80% of gross revenue under the lease-purchase split
  • Weekly gross is estimated to average around $6,500, though actual earnings depend on miles and loads
  • Weekly mileage bonuses range from $100 for 2,100 miles up to $350 for 2,800+ miles
  • Pay advances of up to $200 per week are available
  • Settlements are paid weekly by direct deposit
  • A $500 sign-on bonus is paid after your first 9,000 miles

What you'll haul

  • All dry van, no-touch freight, with optional driver-assist loads
  • About 70% of loads are drop and hook
  • No hazmat, and no runs into Canada or Mexico

Lease terms

  • Trucks are 2023 or newer Freightliner Cascadia or Kenworth T680 models
  • A $5,000 down payment is required, with a loan option at $300/week
  • Weekly lease rates run from $750 (2023 model, 3-year term) to $950 (2025 model, 4-year term)
  • No credit check, and interest is based on a Common Revenue Target rather than a traditional rate
  • A $15,000 balloon or residual payment is due at lease end
  • You're responsible for plates, registration, fuel card, physical insurance, 2290/IRP, and IFTA reporting costs

Requirements

  • At least 3 months of recent, verifiable CDL-A experience pulling 48-53 foot trailers
  • Valid CDL-A and current DOT medical card
  • Must reside in one of the approved hiring states (most states east of the Rockies, including IA, IL, OH, TX, GA, and others)
  • SAP applicants are considered if Step 5 of the Return-to-Duty process is complete

Benefits

  • Discounts on fuel, maintenance, and tires
  • 24/7 support team based in Michigan
  • Riders and one pet (dog) permitted
  • This is a 1099 independent contractor position; no company benefits are provided, though additional coverage can be purchased at your own cost
