About Union Equity, Inc.

Union Equity is a commercial truck leasing business engaged in leasing class 8 commercial trucks to owner operators located around the contiguous 48 states since 1999. Many owner operators drive on a for hire basis for Fortune 500 companies, while others have their own authority to haul freight throughout the United States. Union Equity’s strategy has been to target both groups of owner operators through an aggressive marketing program and complete “one stop shop” solution for the owner operator. Through their unique business model, Union Equity is able to provide owner operators with a leased truck regardless of their credit history. Owner operators need only to have a valid commercial driver’s license, acceptable insurance, proof of a shipper’s intent to hire, and a willingness to work.
