[QUOTE="NYCFXG, post: 3030683, member: 56621"] Rentals are meant to be used as a short term replacement for a vehicle that is OOS. Any contractor that rents long term is seriously cash strapped and needs to reconsider how they are running their business. In most cases, it would be better to jettison excess work than it would be to run a rental longer than a week or two. Obviously, peak is different. I was able to grow to my size due to contractors not being able to handle increases in volume and I was there to scoop up the work because I always had extra trucks. A brand new gasoline F59 P1000 leases out to be just shy of 1k a month. A rental is close to 400 a week for me. Even if I can get them down to 350 a week that is still more than $1,500 a month. I don't understand a business owner who throws away money like that. Even if he doesn't have cash to get a used truck for cheap, there are other solutions. Renting is a terrible, terrible way to spend your money. [/QUOTE]
