Whether you need one truck or a small fleet, we can provide the flatbed truck rental you need, when you need it.
Why Rent Flatbed Trucks?
A flatbed truck can be an investment, but when your projects are temporary or infrequent, they can end up becoming a financial liability. According to Fleet Equipment Magazine, the total cost of ownership of any work truck includes not only the initial purchase price, but also yearly maintenance costs, fuel costs, the costs of unplanned downtime, and how much the vehicle may depreciate in value over its lifespan.
These costs can be very expensive. CostOwl notes that work trucks like flatbed trucks are usually priced between $40,000 and $80,000 per truck on average. Maintenance costs, including oil changes and unexpected repairs, can run up to $5,600 per truck annually. Then there are also the registration fees — which differ from state to state, but usually cost around $100 upfront and require a yearly fee to renew.
And if you buy a truck, you also must be concerned about whether it will be worth the expense. Owned vehicles must be used regularly to recover costs and contribute to business profit. If your project schedule is irregular, this could become a problem.
With flatbed truck rentals, however, you don’t have to worry about any of these costs. Whether you need a single truck or a large fleet, rentals can reduce yearly costs and increase profits, no matter what industry you work in.
