Leasing onto carrier question.

So I bought a truck to help my other business out. That business rents manned cranes to our customers, and since we use only crawler cranes, we have to pay to have them moved. It's usually around 4-5k to move them only a few miles with a heavy haul and 2-3 flat/step decks for the weights and boom sections. My plan is to still hire out the heavy haul, buy or rent a couple of used flats/steps, and shuttle the fall off loads myself. basically paying myself the other 2-3k everything we move them, and eventually the truck would pay for itself and be a "back-up plan" for later on, plus I've always wanted one anyway.

I'm in the process of getting my own authority and although doable, it doesn't make sense to spend that munch money if I don't have to since I won't be running all the time.

How do you find a small company to lease onto? A little mom and pop type place to lease onto and to help out when they needed? Is this even possible?

 

They still around? Sounds like exactly what I’m looking for.

 

Couple times a month, well before the oilfield took a ####...

Also have another venture that I’d move a couple a month fir as well. Then whatever random stuff I find around the house. Not exactly looking to “make money”, more just pay for itself of course anything extra is just icing in the cake. I do very well with the crane business, so this was more just to pay myself for moves on the side. Hope that makes sense.

 

Yes sir...it’s doable but I’d rather not. I know a couple people I can talk to that have their own numbers, but I didn’t know if there was a company that would just charge a percentage and let you do your own thing.
