A Structured Path to Ownership
Rather than requiring drivers to secure outside financing or make a large upfront investment, the lease-to-purchase model lets participants build equity in their truck through regular lease payments that count toward eventual ownership. For many company drivers, the biggest barrier to going independent has been the upfront cost of a truck — a hurdle this program is designed to lower.
The trucks included in the program are Freightliners, one of the most widely used commercial truck brands in North America, known for their availability of parts, service network, and resale value — factors that matter for drivers planning to run their own operation long-term.
Why It Matters for Drivers
Becoming an owner-operator is often seen as a major milestone in a trucking career, offering greater control over routes, schedules, and business decisions compared to driving for a fleet as an employee. However, the transition typically requires significant capital or credit access that many drivers don't have readily available.
By making the program exclusive to current Noor drivers, the company is positioning it as both a retention tool and a career-advancement opportunity — rewarding drivers already in its network with a structured, lower-barrier way to build their own business.

Noor says the number of trucks available under the program is limited, and the company is encouraging interested drivers to reach out directly for more information. Drivers can inquire by contacting Noor at (216) 770-9839 and ask for Mike
As the trucking industry continues to grapple with driver retention and the appeal of independent contracting, programs like this one reflect a broader trend of carriers offering clearer, more accessible paths from company driver to owner-operator.
