Pick a truck from our fleet, run loads we dispatch, and at the end of the lease the truck is yours. No $80k down. No bank loan. No repair-bill panic when the engine blows.
Treated like an owner-operator — without the capital risk of buying a truck outright.
Choose from Freightliner, Kenworth, or Peterbilt. We'll source new units if you want something specific.
Dispatch books steady loads. Your earnings scale with your miles.
Engine, transmission, drivetrain — major repairs covered during the lease. You drive, we cover the unexpected.
End of the lease term, the title transfers to you. No balloon payment, no surprises.
We advertise these questions because the answers matter. Here is how RUNFOREST handles the money, maintenance, fuel, settlements, and walk-away terms.
There is no one-price-fits-all number because it depends on the exact VIN, year, and spec. RUNFOREST shows the truck-specific purchase price on the lease worksheet before you sign, along with the lease term and title-transfer terms.
Your lease cost is a fixed weekly base plus the per-mile maintenance plan — there is no separate lease charge on top. Current weekly bases run from $925 to $1,100 depending on the truck, and the base covers the truck, plates, and base insurance. The per-mile portion is the maintenance plan, either 15¢ or 22¢ per mile depending on your coverage.
Maintenance is built into the lease as a per-mile plan — either 15 CPM or 22 CPM. At 15 CPM it covers all truck and trailer mechanical breakdown and maintenance; at 22 CPM it also covers tire and brake wear and tear. Negligence, blowouts, and damage caused by driver actions are excluded.
For a covered major breakdown, RUNFOREST handles the covered repair path and dispatch helps you get moving again. If the driver is broken down for more than 24 hours, the lease is prorated for the covered downtime.
Drivers use the RUNFOREST Navigation app for fuel optimization and network discounts. When the driver follows the fuel optimizer, they get the best available discount through our network, see it on the app dashboard, and then see it again on the settlement.
Yes. RUNFOREST can show a recent real settlement example with private driver information removed, so you can see gross revenue, lease cost, fuel, deductions, and net pay before you decide.
If you leave before completing the lease, you do not receive the title. Whether it is month 6 or month 18, the truck is returned, open balances and damage responsibility are settled, and ownership transfers only after the full lease is completed.
Dispatch is fully American — based right here in the USA in Woodridge, IL. When you call in, you reach our own team, not an overseas call center.
