Flatbed Lease vs Rent. What's the difference?

I am renting a beat up trailer you got to sleep 30- bikers at the burning man in Nevada next week.

You say "Ick" but sign here 30 dollars thank you. Be back friday.

Now a trailer LEASING company tells me you intend to work the trailer either as picking up and delivering loads or... parking them as a form of warehousing until the current freighter problem has gone away and you have plenty of warehouse space again.

 

I was using iloca ...but their trailers beat up to death ...even year old i had

 

Still using one now , Conestoga ...10 years old

 

Difference? Lease/purchasing mine and have never rented one. But I believe, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, that with a lease, you are responsible for repairs and maintenance. When renting, the rental company is usually responsible.

I did run for a company that pulled rented Ryder trucks and trailers. That sucked from a driver's point of view. The local Ryder shop would take care of your vehicle whenever they felt like it. Could be a day. Could be 2 weeks. But you'd get upgraded to the biggest piece of crap on their lot in the meantime.

 

Leasing you know exactly how much you'll spend
