Renting a truck?

Welcome, oh, I'd be careful with that. Insurance is going to be the biggest obstacle. Is it just stock piling in the pit, or is it on the road stuff, because liability is ironically a killer these days. With so many older trucks out there, for a song, the least amount of people you involve, the better. I'd just get my own cheapie tractor, especially if you aren't going far.

 

Call your insurance company and ask them. Making sure your covered if anything happens is the biggest thing. I’ve leased other people’s trailers but never a truck.

 

What you're describing is basically a lease arrangement. Talk to your insurance agent first, they'll tell you exactly how they want it written up because the rental vs lease language changes what's covered. Some carriers have templates for short term equipment lease between companies. IFTA and fuel tax falls on whoever has the DOT active so make sure that side is covered too.
