Do you run a business and need at least one reliable work truck but can't afford to buy one? If so, you're not alone. Surprisingly, about 90 percent of business people are unable to pay cash for a commercial work truck. That's why more and more fleet managers are leasing, rather than buying their trucks. 

Maintaining cash flow in your business is at the heart of its survival. Commercial vehicle leasing is smart for business because it frees up capital for your business operations. Vehicle leasing also accommodates your business budget and prevents you from running into debt. 

Your fleet management practices have a significant role to play in your business' value chain. With a well-managed fleet, you can attend to customers within the shortest time possible as well as reduce the cost of owning the fleet.

For instance, a simple replacement of a vehicle nearing the end of its useful life can boost productivity by a large margin. Also, as such assets age, so does the cost of ownership increase considering the increased need for maintenance and an inefficient fuel economy.

Often, business people who want to drive newer, better equipped and more luxurious cars and trucks choose to lease a vehicle for their business rather than buy one. What's more, leased vehicles are always under warranty and need only minimal routine maintenance. 

There is no question that trucks are essential in running your company. The question is, which truck is right for you? Choosing the right truck might seem easy at first- they all have storage and towing capacities. But from bed length, to horsepower, to seating, to fuel economy, there are many factors to consider.
