These are unprecedented times with extraordinary public demands. With each passing day, municipalities are challenged to deliver critical public services while dealing with many unknown variables. Here’s where truck rental plans can give municipal workers and private haulers the flexibility and financial edge to perform services that keep their communities safe, clean, and active.
“There is no such thing as ‘business as normal’ right now for any organization delivering a public service,” says Jaksa Panic, Vice President of Big Truck Rental Canada. “And for those that rely on trucks to get their job done, it can be difficult to plan ahead.”
Beyond helping organizations manage day-to-day demands, truck rentals provide a host of physical and financial advantages. Ahead are simply a few…
- Capital savings: By taking advantage of a Rent to Purchase truck plans from nationwide companies like Big Truck Rental, companies have immediate access to equipment wherever they are operating. That enables them to fill their fleets with the trucks they need while still building equity to purchase others down the road. This helps organizations hold onto capital and avoid making tough, costly decisions during this time of uncertainly. Moreover, companies can avoid the costly venture of a brand-new truck, and instead find a reliable off-rent truck through companies like Route Ready.
- Managing increased waste. People produce a higher volume of trash and recycling than usual when they’re at home 24/7. As such, trucks and haulers need to be able to cover these inflated volumes in order to maintain a sense of normalcy in the community and, in so doing, provide a sense of relief during less-than-normal times. Renting more (or different) trucks can help organizations adjust quickly to this influx.
- Scaling for growth and decline. By renting trucks, companies can temporarily adjust the size of their fleet in real-time based on what’s best for the business.After all, it’s possible that some areas are experiencing a dramatic reduction in refuse, leaving companies that serve businesses, contractors, or other stalled industries subject to reduced activity. As many of these organizations calculate losses than can be cut, haulers also know that an eventual return to normalcy will mean they still need their current fleet. Being able to quickly scale one’s fleet size helps manage these ebbs and flows.
- Accommodating staff or technician shortages. With many Canadians struggling to provide care for their children or family members, some organizations are finding it difficult to keep their teams on the job. This is true for municipalities that may be experiencing a shortage of technicians or regular maintenance staff, and are therefore at greater risk for truck breakdowns. In these situations, where repair times may be delayed and truck downtimes more frequent, renting newer model trucks provides a degree of reliability.
Certainty in uncertain times
Delivering reliable and efficient public services is a challenge at the best of times. These days? Keeping up with community demands can be downright daunting. That’s why finding a partner like Big Truck Rental who understands the industry and today’s circumstances is key to navigating the unknown.
“There is no one-size-fits-all approach here, and we recognize that. That’s why we work with every one of our clients to develop contingency plans based on their specific needs,” says Panic. “We encourage companies to utilize our resources to think ahead and be prepared while also being successful now.
