Unlocking the benefits of renting in waste management
Between vehicle maintenance and costly repairs, keeping pace with technology and scaling to meet demand, the challenges of fleet management can add up. In response, a growing number of waste haulers are leveraging the advantages of renting to overcome these common hurdles.
“We continue to see a higher demand in pre-planned rental users truly utilizing our trucks as a means of managing growth and seasonal requirements,” says Jaksa Panic, Director of Sales with Big Truck Rental, adding that more and more industry players are turning to rentals as a means to unlock long-term benefits and tackle short-term challenges.
Here are some ways haulers and municipalities are using truck rentals to their advantage:
- Replacing ageing trucks. Renting enables waste haulers of all sizes to keep their fleet running efficiently while they phase out older, less reliable trucks. It also gives them the ability to keep their business moving and explore all possible long-term solutions without rushing larger conversations that could lead to major purchases.
- Reducing the strain of unexpected or recurring costs. By incorporating new and reliable trucks, organizations can worry less about potential breakdowns and costly maintenance issues and have greater peace of mind about their bottom line. What’s more, rental companies such as Big Truck Rental have a nationwide dealer network committed to working through any unexpected issues with your rental.
- Adjusting for demand. Renting enables businesses to evaluate their needs and adjust their fleet volume in real-time. This means that those that aren’t ready to commit to a long-term plan for their business can then take things one step at a time through the implementation of rental trucks without long-term sacrifices
- Bolstering growth. Truck availability can get in the way of a company’s capacity to bid on new business opportunities. Renting a truck, however, lets companies initiate new contract routes immediately without the typical six- to nine-month delay on securing new waste hauling vehicles. After all, business growth can happen suddenly and before a company is equipped to tackle the work. Keeping one’s fleet stocked with top-of-the-line rental trucks can buy owners the time they need to make expensive, long-term decisions.
- Future planning. Renting provides companies with predictable and consistent costs from month to month. Businesses can stay true to their budget and begin making long-term plans with the capital they are currently holding.
From cost-savings to long-term planning, sustainable strategies to fewer day-to-day headaches, there is no shortage of advantages to consider when it comes to renting trucks in waste management.
“Although we’ve made tremendous progress in having the ability to service the industry, we continue to find pockets of the market that are still not aware that renting garbage trucks is a potential solution and how easy it can be to integrate this as a strategy into the haulers business,” says Panic, adding, “Our number one goal is to continue to provide a viable solution for the refuse industry in terms of fleet flexibility.”
