I see a upside to deducting all the cost of a lease and getting a new truck every few years ,, I have always just payed cash for work trucks and used them tell there ready for the scrap yard. but I only drive a work truck like 3 or 4K miles a year and its a huge depreciation and maintenance cost ,,
More to that than tax considerations. At "business" usage
that low, you should be
none of owning, leasing, nor renting, new, old, or sideways.
Not with overheads, inch-hoorance, accounting costs, tax reporting and hassle and personal risk of health or just scheduling reliability for "old, old" trucks with safety gear not even reliable or even simple s**t like rotting tires or wiper blades, corroded lighting, flat batteries, and rodents colonizing the air-cleaner housing. DAMHIKT.
Repeat: "None of."
Hire a service, on-call.
Truck and driver come as a package. (S)he does their job. You keep doing YOUR job they CANNOT do for you.
All those overheads - plus keeping decently serviceable vehicles and competent operators roadworthy are THEIR rice-bowl and shared across a clientele that consumes tens of thousands of miles per year..
Plan it right, cut a regular-client deal, yah can have a wider variety of vehicles, each episode better suited to any given tasking.
Seems to work easily as well with air travel?
DIY dental work? Up to you... but don't go getting "anal" about it, even if "the money is THERE!" 'coz it could re-define "pain in the ass" altogether!
