Schneider Finance: Lease to Purchase Program

Schneider Makes Becoming an Owner-Operator EASY

We’re doing everything we can to support owner-operators. Schneider Finance, an affiliate of Schneider National recently introduced a new lease/purchase program designed to eliminate the risks for drivers looking to become owner-operators for the first time.

Smart Start

The Smart Start program, which launched in early 2006, helps entrepreneurs like you by minimizing many of the risks associated with starting a truck driving business. The heart of the program is a special no money down, low-monthly leasing plan on late-model used trucks. It includes a two-year engine protection plan which delivers an extra level of security for participants who can then quickly build equity and upgrade their truck’s equipment.

The program is backed by Schneider’s longstanding commitment to owner-operators, a substantial factor for some drivers when deciding whether to participate in the program. Our goal is to ensure your success. We have the largest freight base in the industry, which gives owner-operators the freight they need, when they need it. This unique opportunity provides drivers who want to be their own boss access to the resources they need to keep their business going strong.

Schneider offers additional financing options.  We have the right fit for you!

  • Gently Used. Provides well spec'd and highly sought after low mileage tractors that are equally suitable for first time as well as experienced owner-operators.
  • Best Value Multi-Use New. Another way to begin your owner-operator career. This program offers a brand new and cost effective tractor that can launch your successful new business.
