When I started in the trailer industry over 30 years ago, ownership of trailers was the norm. Of course rental was an option, but very different to how it has now evolved. Now business needs are different. I recently read an article saying that the pound has dropped to its lowest point in over a year, and UK borrowing costs are at their highest in 16 years. With interest rates unstable and so much uncertainty in the economy, smarter resource management has never been more important. That’s where trailer rentals make all the difference. → Rent what you need, when you need it. No long-term commitment, just what’s necessary for the job. Or Contract Hire and fix your costs for a fixed longer period. → Avoid big upfront costs. Rental helps keep your spending manageable without tying up cash. → No worrying about ongoing maintenance management and costs. Rent and focus on running your business. In times like these, staying flexible and knowing your costs is the key Renting trailers lets you stay lean, adapt quickly, and manage risk more effectively. Are you thinking about renting instead of buying? Get in touch and see how Fleet Assess Ltd can partner you.

I’ve recently brought up the decisions of fleets to lease or rent trailers in 2025 instead of purchasing as much new equipment. I thought I would get a little more in depth on why that might be the case.   When it comes to the financial aspect of leasing or renting trailers versus buying, it really depends on the unique needs of your business. I’ve had many conversations with carriers who prefer to buy their trailers if they’ve got cheap access to capital and can take full advantage of asset depreciation.    From an accounting standpoint, ownership can help reduce taxable income since you can accelerate depreciation, which can be a big win for profitable companies.   But here’s the thing—while owning works for some, it’s not without its challenges. If business slows down, you don’t want to be stuck with underutilized trailers.   And when those trailers reach the end of their life, you’re responsible for selling or disposing of them, which can be a hassle. If your business prefers newer equipment every few years, managing all of that can become an extra burden.   On the flip side, many carriers I speak to prefer the flexibility that comes with renting or leasing trailers. Instead of a roughly $40,000+ capital outlay to purchase, you could be renting for approximately 1/100th of that a month. That’s a much lighter hit on cash flow, especially if you only need the trailer for a few weeks or months. And if you have a longer-term need, leasing can help lower your monthly costs with a commitment. What are some reasons you have chosen to lease or rent in the past? #trucking #fleet #trailers #logistics #supplychain #drivenbyintegrity

⚡ Kittle's Furniture is quietly leading the way in Indiana with the state’s first Kenworth Truck Co. battery-electric truck – delivering furniture just outside of Indianapolis. Get the full story. 👉 https://bit.ly/4a97B6v With six retail locations in Indiana, Kittle’s Furniture uses a Kenworth K270E electric truck to deliver furniture to customers in the Indianapolis metro area from its distribution center in Fishers. The truck is leased through Palmer Leasing, the local PacLease - PACCAR Leasing Company franchise - joining other leased medium-duty trucks also in service with Kittle’s. With a range of up to 200 miles between charges, the truck is equipped with a 282 kW battery pack, which delivers 355 horsepower through a direct-drive motor. A 20 kW wall charger from PACCAR Parts provides overnight charging. Founded in Indiana and family-owned since 1932, Kittle’s has been a leader in retail while always looking to the future. “That’s why we wanted to be the first in the furniture industry in Indiana to start using an electric delivery truck,” said Eric Easter, Kittle’s CEO. “With recent advancements in EV technology, especially in commercial vehicles, we believe it’s time to test and move forward with trucks that eliminate emissions while reducing our consumption of fossil fuels. And we’re finding the truck is delivering as promised. The K270E is less expensive to operate and has fewer service and maintenance requirements. This helps offset the higher lease rate. Our EV Kenworth from PacLease allows us to move into the future.” #Kenworth #electrictrucks #electricvehicles #batteryelectric #bev #K270E #finalmile #electricvehicles #sustainability #trucking #logistics #Indiana #Indianapolis
