The Road Legends Lease Purchase Program: An Honest Guide to Ownership

In a market full of empty promises, you deserve a career path that puts you in the driver's seat, literally and financially.

At Road Legends, we understand that every driver is at a different stage in their career. Whether you are joining us as a Company Driver, bringing your own truck as an Owner Operator, or ready to upgrade your career through our Lease Purchase Program, our goal is always the same: keep you moving and profitable.

For drivers ready to take the step toward becoming their own boss, our Lease Purchase program is designed to remove the barriers that usually stop talented drivers from owning their own business.

Below is a clear and transparent breakdown of how we help you succeed.

1) Access Without the Burden: The Walk Away Advantage

Most lease programs lock drivers into long term commitments that create unnecessary financial pressure. We built ours differently.

No Money Down and No Credit Check
Your driving history matters more than your credit score. Instead of tying up your savings in a down payment, you keep your cash available for fuel, maintenance, and daily operations.

True Walk Away Freedom
This is a service agreement, not long term debt. If life circumstances change, you are not stuck with balloon payments or long term financial obligations. You can walk away without damaging your future.

Descending Payments
As your truck ages, your costs should go down, not up. Our lease payments decrease over time, helping your cash flow stay healthy as maintenance needs increase. For example, on a 2022 Kenworth T680, weekly payments step down as you progress through the lease.

Take a look at our full breakdown explaining how walk away lease purchase programs work and what drivers should watch out for.

2) Power of Choice: How You Get Paid

We do not believe in one size fits all pay. You run your business the way you see fit.

Percentage Pay - 75% of Gross
Ideal for drivers who want to maximize earnings when rates are strong. This option includes free trailer rent and cargo insurance, keeping settlements clean and simple.

Fixed CPM Stability
Prefer predictability? We offer fixed mileage pay options - $1.95 PPM on Flatbed and $1.75 PPM on Dry Van, so you know exactly what your weekly check looks like regardless of market swings.

We also break down the real math behind percentage pay versus CPM, including break even points and lane strategy, to help you choose the plan that fits your goals.

3) The Hidden Paycheck: Fuel and Maintenance Support

Profit is not just what you make. It is what you keep.

Fuel Discounts Up to $0.90 Per Gallon
Our fleet buying power puts money back in your pocket every time you fuel. Those savings go directly to your bottom line.

Maintenance Fund With 25% Company Match (For Owner Operators Only)
Owner Operators can opt into our Maintenance Fund, where we match your contributions by 25%. This provides real protection against unexpected repair costs that can sideline your business.

Fuel savings are often the difference between surviving and thriving — here’s how fuel discounts can add thousands to your yearly net pay when you’re on a lease purchase.

4) Comfort and Modern Equipment That Actually Matters

You live in your truck, so we spec our fleet for life on the road.

Modern Fleet
Our lineup includes 2025, 2026, and 2027 Freightliner Cascadias (DD15) and Kenworth T680s (Cummins), with new trucks added every year to ensure reliability and uptime.

Driver Focused Comfort
Our trucks are equipped with APUs, power inverters, and refrigerators, not as luxuries, but as necessities.

Why This Matters
An APU allows you to rest in a climate controlled cab without idling your engine, saving fuel while keeping you comfortable and compliant.
 

The Verdict

We built this program to be the launchpad we wish we had when we started.

With no balloon payments, major fuel discounts, modern equipment, and the freedom to choose how you get paid, Road Legends is where professional drivers come to build a business, not just drive a truck.

If you are ready for a lease purchase program built on transparency instead of traps, this is where your next chapter starts.
