      Damn, it’s been a minute since I looked into it but that’s a lot more than it used to be and even furthers the point.

        It’s literally less than you just said. $20 for a truck and no mileage charge.

        You’re missing the forest for the trees anyway. The point is it’s a lot less to pay $20 a few times per year than it is to pay thousands more for a full sized truck instead of a car.

          How is $150 for a day less than $30 + (60miles x .50¢ a mile)??? You would need to go 240 miles for that to be more which even in my state is further than the next nearest Home Depot.

            Since when are we talking about an entire day’s worth of hauling? People need a truck to pick up a TV or couch from Costco that takes well under 75 minutes.

            Also, you don’t have to go to home depot, I was just correcting what you said about their pricing.

              You didn’t answer my question. It doesn’t matter how long you have it that’s still more expensive than it used to be unless you can get your hauling done in less time than it takes to watch The Lion King. I’m not even sure what you’re trying to argue at this point.
