{"text":"has anybody rented a truck long term from ryder or penske what are ur thoughts is it better buying a truck or running a rental and not worry about much ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}
{"replyTo":"","text":"Penske is cheaper by the month than Ryder (around $4200/wk vs $5600/wk for an otr truck and trailer). It’s $2600/wk plus mileage of if I remember correctly it’s $0.26/mi for the mileage charge. You still pay for repairs/breakdown and must use their shops for repairs/maintenance at their exhorbitant rates so you’re not saving yourself any headaches renting one. You prepay estimated mileage and will get a credit towards the next week if you don’t use all the prepaid miles. You must have your own authority to rent one and Ryder will not setup an account if it’s not an active authority. Enterprise also rents trucks and trailers but not sure of their pricing or policy for account setup. You pay fuel maintenance (outside pm & oil change which you’ll get a discount for but still pay) and repairs. Go buy a used truck you’ll save money and make more profit instead of running miles to cover the weekly/monthly rate.","replyToPid":0}
