Own a truck? We match you with carriers that lease on — free.

Heavy Haulers is a matching agency for owner-operators. We work with carriers across the United States that lease on drivers with their own trucks, and it costs you nothing: no sign-up fee, no placement fee, no cut of your settlements. Tell us about your truck and the work you want, and we connect you with carriers whose terms fit.

How it works

1. Send a short request. Your name, phone, experience as an owner-operator, trailer type and what kind of arrangement you are after: lease-on, lease-purchase or a plan to buy a truck.

2. We find the fit. Carriers differ a lot on percentage, fuel and insurance deductions, escrow and the length of the lease. We pass your details only to carriers that fit your equipment and expectations.

3. The carrier reaches out. You get the numbers and the lease terms from the carrier itself. Ask for the written lease before you decide, and take your time reading it. You never have to accept.

Who we help

• Owner-operators with a truck looking for a carrier with fair terms and steady freight.
• Drivers planning to buy who want to understand what a lease commits them to before they sign anything.
• Lease-purchase seekers comparing programs. Our guides explain what to check in the contract.
• Carriers' recruiters who want to see what a transparent offer looks like. One of our partner carriers, PRIDEUSA, publishes its owner-operator terms openly.

Before you apply

• Know your truck: year, make, mileage and whether it is paid off.
• Know your costs per mile, including insurance, fuel and maintenance.
• Decide what matters most: higher percentage, steady lanes, home time or fuel discounts.
• Have your authority and insurance questions written down for the carrier.

Guides on leasing, pay and insurance

Reading the lease is the best protection an owner-operator has, so we publish plain-English explanations. Start with the clause-by-clause guide to the lease agreement, then the list of Truth-in-Leasing red flags and what carriers check in lease-on requirements. The full library has more.

Where our role ends

Heavy Haulers makes introductions. It is not a carrier, an insurer or a law firm. We do not guarantee a lease, a specific rate or a load; terms come from the carriers. See how we handle your details in our privacy policy, or contact the team.
