Planning to start or build a box truck business?
Trucking is a business that generates a lot of revenue.
The ways you can make money with your box truck range from high-risk, high-reward investments such as starting a full-on business with it, to careers that involve way less risk including partnering with a company or picking up available jobs in various industries.
Applying for a box truck lease offers many advantages that purchasing doesn’t. When you lease your vehicle, there are no upfront costs or ownership risks to worry about.
It’s substantially less expensive and enables you to make use of new vehicles without the steep costs.
