• Lease-Purchase: Drivers employed by carriers where the truck is leased to the driver for a fee until the truck is paid off and the driver takes ownership of the truck.
• Owner Operator (OO): Drivers who own a truck operating as an independent company. Owners may also be referred to as "independent contractors."
• Team leader: Drivers who work with a partner who shares driving duties and other tasks with another partner.
