Probably the best place to go for that kind of thing would be OOIDA. We really don't cover leasing or owning trucks because we're focused on helping new drivers break into the industry.
OOIDA is an international trade association representing the interests of independent owner-operators and professional drivers on all issues that affect truckers. The over 150,000 members of OOIDA are men and women in all 50 states and Canada who collectively own and/or operate more than 240,000 individual heavy-duty trucks and small truck fleets.
The mission of OOIDA is to serve owner-operators, small fleets and professional truckers; to work for a business climate where truckers are treated equally and fairly; to promote highway safety and responsibility among all highway users; and to promote a better business climate and efficiency for all truck operators.

That’s understandable. Thank you.

Hello, Can anyone suggest a good leasing/rental company to get a 53’ dry van? I’m basically a one man operation, with someone dispatching me, and I’m trying to find out what’s the best option for me as far as renting, leasing or buying a trailer. So which company is best to go with and, in your opinion/experience, what is the best option for me and how much will it cost me approximately? Thanks.
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.
