Stars and Stipes for the benefit of us English ( we used to rule a third of the world ) how do you do your rental biz. So start with a 5000ib capacity truck with a capital cost of $ 21000 and the customer wants an agreement with maintenance over 5 yrs working 2000 hrs pa. how do you fund it ? Do you build in a repurchase undertaking ? How much maint ? How much does the client pay ? what happens at the end of the term ? How much is the asset worth after 5 yrs ? Do you sell it or re rent the truck ?
Would find your answers interesting and wondered if it was a regional thing ? I have met dealers from Europe who cant get their head around RENTAL.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
