    Hello everyone.
    I am looking for renting a flatbed or stepdeck. I have no credit score at all. I called a few places, they want to credit check first but I have never applied for a credit card. Can someone show me what companies can I rent it from? Your replies are really appreciated.☺

    Penske rents trailers, but finding a standard 48' spread axle is really hard.

    If you don't have an established history or good credit, it is going to be real tough. The "major" leasing and rental companies won't even talk to owner operators. If you do find someone who does, get ready! they will nickel and dime you to death. Such as tire wear charges, mileage charges, brake and maint. charges, etc..

    Depends... I used to work for Penske, for long term leases you can spec out nearly anything you want. As for local rentals, I've even delivered RGN's.

    Now you're just playing games. The op said he has no credit. Even so, he probably can pay a security deposit and rent a trailer. You and I both know however, he is not going to sit down and special order what he wants, and sign a long term lease. He may be able to rent a trailer they have on the lot, and 48' spread axles are few and far between at Penske!

    I have seen used flatbeds for rent on craigslist no credit check. Not sure how predatory the rent is or what condition they are in.

    I was told when I rented a trailer before purchase, that's extremely difficult to rent. The credit process is much more involved than a purchase. Try Hale Trailer....it's winter, they have a lot sitting.
