If I need a truck I’ll rent one from U-Haul. They’re not that expensive.

Owning a truck? That’s pretty expensive for someone like me who just needs a small car to get around. Also avoids that problem.

Renting them from Home Depot is also pretty cheap

I didn’t know I could do that! I live next to a Home Depot. I’ll try that sometime.

They also usually rent out equipment, like carpet cleaners, post-hole diggers, large drain snakes, etc. And relatively cheap for the one time possibly in your lifetime you need to use it.
