While many people associate the option to lease a commercial truck with a small company that doesn’t have the funds to make a new or used heavy to medium duty truck purchase, this is only a small part of the truck lease market.
In Texas, as well as around the United States, mid to large size companies and even national companies with multiple locations are moving from self-owned fleets to lease agreements with full-service truck leasing companies.
Whether you are a small company that needs a single truck or a large company that needs to supplement a fleet, there are several options to consider before you lease a commercial truck. Understanding what you need, the terms of the lease and what the lease will cover can help you to make the right choice of leasing service.
Truck Options
Look for a company that has expertise in leasing the type and the quantity, of trucks you need. You may need cube vans, flatbed trucks, heavy-duty trucks or severe service trucks.
Some companies tend to work more frequently with individuals or small businesses in the market to lease one or perhaps two trucks. Often these leasing companies have a limited selection of trucks and also limited availability.
Service Options You Require
By ensuring the company has not only the types of tracks you need but the experience in providing the services you will require, you can streamline your fleet management requirements, an essential consideration for larger companies.
With the leasing company offering full-service maintenance and management solutions, any downtime on trucks is limited. Additionally, with top providers, if you lease a commercial truck and it does break down, there is 24-hour roadside assistance and replacement vehicles on hand to get your Texas business back up and running.
