Frequently Asked Questions

What does the U.S. Xpress Lease Purchase program include?

-

Our program gives you the opportunity to lease a late-model truck (typically a Freightliner Cascadia) with no money down and no credit check. You’ll benefit from fuel, tire and maintenance discounts, a 500,000-mile powertrain warranty, fuel surcharges on loaded miles, and weekly settlements.

How soon can I own the truck—and what are my options?

+

You’ll choose between lease term options: A shorter “Initial Lease Term” (2-4 years) ending in a balloon payment you pay to own the truck. Or an extended lease term where, at the end, you pay a smaller “final” payment (for example $5,000) to take ownership. Either way, our “walk-away” lease feature gives you flexibility if your business doesn’t go as planned.

What are the experience and qualification requirements?

+

To become a U.S. Xpress lease driver, you must be at least 21 years old, hold a valid Class A CDL, and possess 6 months of verifiable driving experience. Your safety record must show no more than two moving violations or one preventable on-road accident within the last two years, and you must have zero major preventable accidents in the past five years. Additionally, you must pass a DOT physical and drug test and have no DUI/DWI convictions within the last five years (or ten years if the offense occurred while holding a CDL). Please note that this program is not available in CA, CT, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, OR, PA, or WA, and specific account terms for owner-operators may vary. Contact us for full list of qualifications or questions.

What kind of pay and earning potential can I expect?

+

We offer two contract options tailored to your financial goals. Choose our 65% Revenue Sharing plan to maximize your earnings, with a weekly take-home average of $1,600 – $2,400. Alternatively, our Mileage-based plan offers the predictability of steady budgeting, averaging $1,200 – $2,000 weekly.

What kind of truck and equipment will I be driving?

+

We have a variety of options available for drivers who want to lease and/or purchase their own truck. Contact a recruiter to learn more about our current inventory and flexible payment options.

How does U.S. Xpress support me as a business owner rather than just a driver?

+

Not only do you join a program that allows you to own your truck - but you also get a quality business partner in U.S. Xpress. You'll have the opportunity to work with an owner operator consultant who provides feedback on available business opportunities as your point of contact.  We can also connect you with resources to obtain advice on how to optimize your business.  See how you can grow your business with the benefit of fuel/tire/maintenance discounts, and a strong platform that respects you as a business owner.

Details may vary based on location and are subject to change without notice — contact a recruiter for details.

Walkaway lease means no additional penalties upon termination.

No deadline to apply, applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
