About the Opportunity

Trekker’s "Own Your R.O.A.D." program is designed to give you the structure, freight, and support to succeed as an owner operator. At Trekker, success isn't luck—it's focus and execution. This lease purchase program is built around a clear framework designed to help drivers become successful owner operators, providing the tools to optimize your business and take control of your earnings.

Choose Your Pay and Fuel Strategy

You have the freedom to choose how you build your revenue. You can select between two pay structures: 72% of revenue or $1.20 per mile. Additionally, you can choose your fuel strategy to control your biggest expense. You may lock your fuel at $0.99/gallon (available with either pay option, with no Fuel Surcharge), or opt for mileage pay with Fuel Surcharge based on a predetermined schedule tied to the national diesel average.

Drive Modern Equipment

Operate late-model Freightliner Cascadias, which are fuel-efficient automatic trucks designed to help you achieve 8.3+ MPG. Payments for these newer trucks are as low as $699/week. The program features no credit check, no money down, and no trailer fees. Weekly pay includes transparent settlements and a "Skip a Payment" option to help manage cash flow.

Operational Support and Freight

You will run Midwest OTR lanes covering Iowa, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Denver, and Atlanta, with 2,800+ miles available per week. The freight consists of 80% Drop and Hook customer freight, allowing for efficient turnaround times. The program is designed to provide the right mix of structure and flexibility so you can run your business your way.
