yeah truck rental isnt the greatest idea but penske, international and several of the other major truck players all have pretty good leasing options if you need it, but buying a truck and trailer are probably your best options to start out. no sense paying for a big truck every day if you need it once a month. good luck to you. personally i would take it for free, and you will have more than you know what to do with and be hiring guys if your only competition is charging that much.
