In 1979, he went Custom Harvesting with his brother, Myron. It was during this time that Lee started driving truck at the age of 16. After the harvest, Lee started driving truck in the oilfield for a couple of years. He became a self-employed truck driver in 1983, starting Lee Eberts Trucking, where he hauled bees, implements, cattle, truck beds, and other commodities.

Lee was united in marriage to Terri (Godes) Bohlman on October 7, 2000 in Dickinson.

He worked for Fisher Industries in Temple, AZ (2004-2009). In 2009, Lee returned to North Dakota and started JTL Transport, LLC, adding to the list of hauling such as MDU trucks, oversize bins, and tanks.

Lee was especially proud of hauling an Army tank from Virginia to the Stark County Veterans Memorial in October 2023.
