        If you live right next-door to the Home Depot then sure, if you live in a town like the one I grew up in and it has no Lowe’s or Home Depot or other car rental place even though it has 16,000 people and a college in it then no not at all.

        Damn, it’s been a minute since I looked into it but that’s a lot more than it used to be and even furthers the point.

            How is $150 for a day less than $30 + (60miles x .50¢ a mile)??? You would need to go 240 miles for that to be more which even in my state is further than the next nearest Home Depot.

              Since when are we talking about an entire day’s worth of hauling? People need a truck to pick up a TV or couch from Costco that takes well under 75 minutes.

                You didn’t answer my question. It doesn’t matter how long you have it that’s still more expensive than it used to be unless you can get your hauling done in less time than it takes to watch The Lion King. I’m not even sure what you’re trying to argue at this point.

      Home Depot fucking sucks, then. Menard’s has a $0.50 per mile charge, $19 for 75 minutes, $6 for each additional 15 min

      The difference in price between a sedan and a truck is like $400-500 annually

        I can’t say I have heard of Menards but they sound the same as Home Depot, or worse maybe since Home Depot charges for the whole day last I checked.
