I’ll try that sometime. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago They also usually rent out equipment, like carpet cleaners, post-hole diggers, large drain snakes, etc. And relatively cheap for the one time possibly in your lifetime you need to use it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) Yeah, that's definitely the cheapest option if you only need the truck for an hour or two to carry something home. Actually I think it's free if you are fast enough, just have to pay for gas. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago I've rented trucks from Lowe's as well. Hella cheap if you're quick with it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Huh!

Which was to move a few slabs of butcher block for my desk, so that was about 4-5 years ago. permalink fedilink source parent [–] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago You don't need to buy anything, I've rented the truck from home Depot to carry unrelated items before. permalink fedilink source parent
