Most lease-to-purchase decisions get made on a recruiter's promise.
A driver hears a weekly gross number, signs, and figures out the rest after. That's how the industry has worked for years.
We built a tool to flip that.
The RUNFOREST Earnings Calculator is live on our site. Three trucks, real weekly lease rates, real per-mile maintenance plan, fuel based on current national diesel.
Pick a truck:
Freightliner Cascadia (2024–2026) — $925/week + 22¢/mi
Kenworth (2024–2026) — $1,000/week + 22¢/mi
Peterbilt (2024–2026) — $1,050/week + 22¢/mi
Slide your weekly miles between 2,200 and 3,000 (where most OTR drivers run). Watch the math update live as you move. Gross, lease, fuel, net - all on one screen.
The calculator is intentionally simplified. It excludes tolls, scales, and any optional reserves you choose to set up. Those line items come out separately and our recruiter April walks through them on the call. The point of the tool isn't to replace a conversation - it's to make sure you walk into one already understanding the structure.
Run your scenario. Save the result. Then bring it to any other carrier you're evaluating and ask them to show their math the same way.
Since February 2017. A program drivers actually finish.
