@fire_starter Appreciate that! Thank you!

@fire_starter Makes sense. Thanks for your input!

@fire_starter For long term rentals that renew, do you get the truck back in at 28 days for maintenance or is maintenance done while it’s out?

@fire_starter I appreciate the insight! Did some googling at the beginning of all this and found them, Barco, and FlexFleet as the more specialized names in the industry besides United and Enterprise. My whole goal is to work around a W2 job at the start even if I have to do things before and...

@dlc68 That makes a lot of sense. I think I need to find an “anchor” or a commercial client who’d be willing to commit to a rental or two to behind with and go from there as the thought part starting up would be the depth of having readily available replacements I think. Idk it’s really just a...

@dlc68 I would agree which I really the route I’d like to go. I compared pricing and I think I can be very competitive once more miles get added on. Enterprise only gives you 3,000 included with a month rental before they start charging $0.29 a mile.

@sandra69 I get that. I might just have to try TURO on for size. Best of luck to you if you go that route too!

@sandra69 I thought about that but their terms of service don’t allow for towing so I wouldn’t be able to list vehicles with towing in mind. I’m not sure if you can register as business on there either. I’d prefer to separate this out under an existing LLC. Do you rent on Turo?

@rls The hotshot trucker with an unexpected downtime or loss of a vehicle, the general contractor that needs a truck for a crew in the field. I’m posting this to try to see if there is a unique use case or need from a specific job sector that is underserved currently.

I’m curious if there is a demand for short to long term rentals of 3/4 or 1 ton rucks fully equipped with ELD and telematics? Say for example a 2020 or newer Ram 2500-3500 with onboard ELD/telematics, fire extinguisher, 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch, warning signs (the triangle ones), and...
