Rates For Bucket Truck Service


Do any of you provide bucket trucks for work and if so, how do you bill out for the service?

I need to put a couple guys in the field in bucket trucks - 1 or 2 man crews. I know how to bill out the guys, just not the trucks.

Have you all rented trucks and if so, where's a good place to go? Right now I'm looking at Penske.

Should the trucks be billed out at a day rate? At an hourly rate? By the mile? Some combination of the above? Thanks.

Re: Rates For Bucket Truck Service


Using the truck for a day gets you a cheaper rate, from my experience. Also, I've found some firms that rent bucket trucks / cherry pickers will want you to have a "Class A Hoisting License" (at least in MA)
