In effect, while you are taking care of your errand you're actually also delivering a truck for them.<br /><br />It may not pay for them in a few cases and they may have to do some unprofitable redistribution by having their own drivers relocate trucks sometimes, but over the entire operational scope and time frame it ends up being a big savings for them to encourage long haul one way rentals by lower pricing.<br /><br />Plus, highway miles are commonly less wear and tear on the equipment than in-town mileage.Timothy Frazierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233747022474584914noreply@blogger.com
