When you buy trucks to expand your business, you tie up a large amount of money that could be used for other purposes. Why not try short-term rental next time? If the demand continues to be high in the future, you might consider buying your truck, if not, the short-term rent in the long term has saved you money.
Getting the right truck is important, and not something you want to decide on in a hurry. To facilitate this, you can rent some trucks for a short period to try them out before deciding.
Your accountants' lives can be made much easier with short-term rent. Many suppliers determine the cost of your desired rental period from the beginning. This means that the costs are predictable, and you do not have to be surprised when it is time to pay the bill.

Short-term rental is a great way to supplement your truck fleet in times of high demand - but this is not necessarily the only time you need short-term rental trucks.
