For the people who cut lawns for a living, what do yall do when your truck breaks down and can't be fixed for a week or so? Have a spare truck? Use a buddys? Rent one? Idk if u haul will let anyone do that for lawn care
 
I would use my father in laws 1989 Ford f250 beat to hell but would would wonders. Or I would rent a truck u-haul truck for 5 days not bad..
 
This falls under the rule of have two or more of everything.

For what you would spend to rent a truck for two weeks you can buy a old truck for a grand to have as a back up.
 
my parents had a moving and furniture business, always had at least 2 trucks.
I started with a 2000 Chevy 1500 and used my fathers Ford Diesal van as backup,
in 2007, ended up buying a Ford F350 Dually at an auction for 5G in 2008 as my back up truck.

had a lady run a stop sign and total my chevy.. andthe 350 ATE profits in fuel.
Traded a customer a year service for a 99 Ford 150 with 325,000 miles lol!! it lasted me
3 years, currently sitting in my driveway in need of a fuel pump.

Currently havea 2013 chevy Silvrdado as primary, that I hate using as it is a nice truck..
and I bought my son a 2003 GMC Sonoma as his truck and my back up. Sold the 350 and
planning on fixing F150 this fall and beat that thing until it falls apart!!

I wish I could afford 2 trucks but if I had a backup truck I would most the time have it sitting and still have to have insurance on it
