About RUNFOREST

Drivers first,
owners sooner.

RUNFOREST Inc runs a lease-to-purchase program built so hard-working drivers can own the truck they drive — without an $80k down payment or a bank loan.

What we stand for

The program is built on a few promises we don't bend on.

One team

You're a partner, not a truck number. We win when you do — so we have your back from day one.

Here to help you grow

From your first dispatch to the day the title is yours, we set drivers up to build real equity and a business.

American dispatch

Our dispatch is fully American, based in Woodridge, IL. Call in and reach our own team — never an overseas call center.

Lease today, own tomorrow

No $80k down, no bank loan. Finish the lease and the truck is yours — no balloon payment, no surprises.

Life at RUNFOREST

We're one team — here to help you grow.

Lease today, own tomorrow. We treat drivers like partners, not numbers — backing you from your first dispatch to the day the title is yours.

Our story

Founded in February 2017, RUNFOREST Inc was started by a driver, for drivers — built around one simple idea: lease today, own tomorrow. Everything else follows from being the right company for that promise — telling you exactly what the weekly base is, what the per-mile maintenance plan covers, what happens during downtime, and what it takes to get the title. No buried numbers.

You pick a truck from our fleet, dispatch books steady loads, and the maintenance plan covers the mechanical surprises that wreck most owner-operators. Complete the lease term and the truck is yours — no balloon payment, no surprises.
