Can anyone advise on what needs to be done to lease a trailer to someone else? I have a farm and own a stepdeck but would like to lease it to a friend with his own authority and let him pull it and in turn he would haul some of my own equipment around. He has his own LLC with authority, do they tag and insure the trailer if the trailer is leased to the LLC or does it stay in my name and do I have to get the insurance on it? Anyone with any experience on this? Thanks

If you have tags they’re good no matter who pulls it.
Give a copy of registration/annual inspection hardcopy
You can write a lease for X amount of money per day/month/week.
You can keep insurance and charge back, or let them insure it, but if they insure it, make sure they put you’re company name and address as Loss Payee for stated value.
Incase destroyed, you’ll get the money from insurance minus deductible. -
Thank You for the clarification!

Also make sure you have it insured for the correct amount
Everything is up $$$$
You don’t want to be under insuredInTooDeep Thanks this. -
All depends on how much he uses it, if he doesn't pull it much a mo. Payment will make sense, but if he's putting a lot of miles on it and going through brakes and tires every year a percentage of gross they make may be a better payment for you?

I’d say something like 800-1000 month, they take care of upkeep.
Put it in writing in the lease agreement.
