MarginWorkshopEquipment
Equipment hourly cost, rent vs buy, repair vs replace, and fleet vehicle and truck stock decisions.
Equipment Hourly Cost & Rent vs. Buy
What a piece of equipment actually costs you per hour if you own it, versus renting it, with the real utilization crossover, no dealer or rental-company thumb on the scale.
Repair vs. Replace Work Truck
Whether repairing the current truck again or replacing it is actually cheaper per year, and the remaining-life point where that answer flips.
Vehicle Downtime Cost
What a truck being down for a day actually costs, idle crew labor plus missed job margin, not just the repair bill.
Spare Vehicle / Backup Truck Break-Even
Whether keeping a spare truck actually pays for itself against your real historical downtime, and the downtime-days threshold where it does.
Additional Truck Break-Even
What incremental revenue an additional truck actually needs to generate to justify adding it to the fleet, not just replace or back up an existing one.
Lease vs. Buy Vehicle
The total cost of leasing versus buying your next work vehicle over your actual expected hold period, apples to apples.
Equipment Utilization vs. Additional Purchase
Whether the rental cost you're currently paying above your owned unit's capacity justifies buying a second one.
Financing Payback Period
How long a financed equipment or vehicle purchase actually takes to pay back, both on the cash you put down and on the full price.
