Have a late model car in the house ?
going away from home for weeks at a time ?
why not make your car working for you while you away moving freight ?

to the rescue comes:

https://relayrides.com/

Getaround - Peer-to-peer car sharing and local car rental

and Borrow your neighbor's ride or rent out yours - Local Car Hire, Car Rentals, Vehicle Sharing Marketplace | JustShareIt

(& yes there are many other company's, just google it with your Zip code)

you can contact them, and 'qualify' your ride,
they will install a remote looker, so you can leave the keys inside, and they will open the car for your costumer, so you do not even needs to be home, to hands over the keys.
worry about never seeing your car again ?, the system have a GPS locator .
have a GM 'OnStar' ? - that's even better.

worry about renting your car to a stranger?
all renters have 'profile', where you can see their rental habits, did they left the fuel level just about the same as they found it ,
and you can rate them after the fact.
(and who said we need FMCSA to monitor our behavior ,LoL, kind of a little CSA)

worry about leftover McDee's raps, or sticky steering wheel ?, @ 10$ an Hour you might make more money renting your car, then moving freight.

worry about insurance claims ?
the rental agreement comes with a million $ policy, and a court representation.

So, why not ?
sounds like a great idea for expediters.

Think he'd mind if I just rented it for a few months?

Jeez, I'm not that hard up yet for an extra buck or two. Why stop at renting the car, what about the house, the wife, the kids, grand kids, dog, lawn mower and snow blower. Hey how about an "all in" all inclusive, package deal.

Skip the wife and kids and I'd be interested ;)


not saying there is anything wrong with your wife and kids.. Just that if I am going to rent someplace other than my home I'd prefer to be alone.
