Leasing a dump truck often makes far more sense than buying one. If your company requires an extra dump truck only occasionally, for example, leasing a truck from time to time or for a fixed period of time frees the company from having to maintain a vehicle that is seldom used or to find a buyer for the truck when it is no longer needed. Equipment leasing companies work with contracting companies to lease dump trucks.
Locate and contact a heavy equipment company that offers dump truck leasing. A simple internet search for "dump truck leasing" is a good way to quickly locate companies who offer this service. You can also check for listings in a local phone book or ask for recommendations from other construction companies.
Know the size of truck you'll need. Dump trucks come in a variety of sizes, from massive off-road vehicles to light dump trucks for small loads. Ask the leasing company if they lease the kind of truck you're seeking. Companies sometimes specialize in the types of equipment they lease, while others can accommodate any heavy equipment needs.
Apply for a dump truck lease. Most companies will require a full credit check with references in order to approve a lease application. Many leasing companies also have online application systems for greater convenience.
Wait for approval. In some cases this may take a few weeks, since the process involves pulling your business' financial records and checking references. However, most often companies will try for a fast turn-around.
