A new year often brings new projects, moves and opportunities. While you might not own a truck, having access to one can make a world of difference for all sorts of tasks. At Marcus Allard Truck Rental, we’ve served the transportation needs of Northwest Indiana and the Chicago suburbs since 1958, providing dependable vehicles for jobs big and small.
If you’re planning for the year ahead, you may run into a few scenarios where a rental truck can help. Here are a few common reasons you may need one:
- Moving to a new home
- Decluttering and donating old items
- Tackling a major home renovation
- Helping a student move to college
- Transporting equipment for your business
Let’s look closer at how a rental could benefit you in each of these situations.
Moving to a New Home
One of the most popular reasons to rent a truck is for a residential move, and a new year is a common time to plan for a fresh start in a new place. Renting a box truck allows you to transport all your belongings in one or two trips, saving significant time and effort compared to using a smaller vehicle. With options like our 14- and 16-foot box trucks, you can find the perfect size to fit everything from your furniture to your kitchenware.
Decluttering and Donating
Is “getting organized” on your list of New Year’s resolutions? A deep clean often results in piles of items to donate or discard. A cargo van or pickup truck can provide the space you need to haul away old furniture, bags of clothes and other unwanted clutter to donation centers or the local dump. It’s a simple way to streamline the process and achieve your decluttering goals more efficiently.
Tackling a Home Renovation
Home improvement projects, whether it’s a kitchen remodel or a backyard makeover, often require transporting large materials. You’ll need a way to bring home lumber, drywall, appliances and other bulky supplies from the hardware store. A stake truck or an F-150 pickup offers the payload capacity to handle these heavy loads, ensuring you have everything you need to complete your project without damaging your personal vehicle.
Helping a Student Move to College
Whether it’s the start of a new semester in January or the transition to college in the fall, helping a student move into a dorm or apartment is a major undertaking. A rental passenger van can transport both the family and their belongings, while a small box truck can easily handle a dorm room’s worth of furniture, clothes and other essentials. It simplifies the logistics of moving day, making it a less stressful experience for everyone.
Transporting Business Equipment
For small business owners and contractors, the new year can mean new jobs and a need for reliable transportation. Instead of investing in a new company vehicle, renting provides a cost-effective solution. Whether you need to transport a work crew in a passenger van or haul equipment to a job site in a pickup truck, renting offers the flexibility to get the right vehicle for the job, for as long as you need it.
Your Partner for the Year Ahead
No matter what the new year has in store for you, Marcus Allard Truck Rental is here to help with your transportation needs. Our clean, modern fleet is meticulously maintained to ensure you get a reliable vehicle every time, and our friendly staff can help you select the perfect truck or van for your specific task.
