truck rental
A facility specializing in rental of cargo-carrying road vehicles, including cargo vans, trucks, and trailers.
A truck rental facility is a place designated for rental of trucks to customers. Trucks include medium-sized cargo vans and trailers as well as giant tractor-trailers. If a car rental facility also rents small cargo vans or pick-up trucks, it should not be classified as truck rental, because it caters mainly to personal vehicles. A truck rental facility must specialize in cargo-carrying vehicles.
Cargo transport must be the specialization. Medium-sized cargo vans and trailers are included alongside large tractor-trailers.
A car rental operation remains focused on personal vehicles when it also offers small cargo vans or pickups. Those secondary rentals do not alone establish a truck-rental facility.
