To Rent Or To Buy?
The decision to rent trailers as needed or to purchase one or a fleet of trailers to haul company product and machinery is a difficult one to make. Each company owner must do a cost versus benefit study. Other considerations must include finding storage space, deciding if there is money in the budget to purchase and pay for licensing and upkeep on one or more trailers. How many times per year does the company need a specialized trailer? Will one specialized trailer meet all the company’s hauling needs or will different trailers be needed for different hauling needs?
Some companies will decide that the most cost-effective solution to hauling management is to rent the correct trailer for each hauling need. No storage space is needed. No repair or licensing bills to pay. But companies that find themselves needing to use specialized trailers often to haul product or equipment may find it more cost-effective to purchase a special trailer designed to meet all or most of their hauling needs. They may consult with the trailer rental company about getting a customized trailer new or retrofitted to meet their needs. Trailer rental companies often sell trailers as well as renting them. They will need to decide if the trailer should be an open one or a closed one.
