SFI celebrates 30 years of leasing new trucks to owner-operators

SFI Trucks and Financing offers personalized service and innovative solutions for owner-operators starting or building trucking businesses

GREEN BAY, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Truck drivers who aspire to become owner-operators need flexible leasing solutions and high-quality equipment to launch and maintain a successful business. For three decades, SFI Trucks and Financing has been turning these driving entrepreneurs’ dreams into a reality.

Supporting the owner-operator journey

Becoming an owner-operator isn’t just about leasing a truck. It’s about navigating a complex marketplace, maintaining high-quality equipment and running a sustainable business. SFI was established thirty years ago to address these challenges, offering owner-operators the tools and resources they need to build thriving trucking businesses.

SFI’s unique approach includes:

  • Innovative leasing solutions that reduce upfront costs with low money down options.
  • Credit flexibility providing more owner-operators – with good or bad credit history – access to truck leases.
  • Premium trucks with an inventory stocked with new and gently used vehicles.
  • Warranties on new trucks that generally cover the length of clients’ initial leases, and used trucks that come with extended, above-industry-standard warranties and cover high-cost repairs.
  • Personalized service and tools for areas like maintenance, business consulting and Spanish language support.
  • $500 Military discount for current and former military members.

Personalized service

One significant factor that sets SFI apart is its unmatched commitment to personalized service. Each SFI client is paired with a dedicated account administrator who provides one-on-one support throughout the lease term. SFI representatives collaborate with clients to ensure they are equipped with the knowledge, tools and insights needed for long-term success.

24/7 maintenance support team

SFI’s maintenance program provides 24/7 emergency roadside assistance and access to engineers who specialize in helping clients work through challenging maintenance issues and to get them the best parts and labor rates.

The freedom SFI supports

SFI understands the reason many company drivers become owner-operators. They desire to have more freedom and boost their earnings potential. That's why it offers opportunities for clients to make their business truly their own with the flexibility to haul for any carrier across the United States, granting them the freedom to explore opportunities that best align with their business goals.

“SFI has been a guiding force in helping drivers achieve their dreams of starting and growing their own trucking business,” said SFI Vice President and General Manager Steve Rhode. “We’re grateful to all those who have been on this journey with us — clients, staff and stakeholders — we’ve worked hand in hand to provide top-notch resources, support and flexibility to help owner-operators be successful.”
