What effect would a truck being out of service for a number of weeks have on your business

What effect would a truck being out of service for a number of days have on your business

If the unit is essentional to the daily operations of the company and is common unit like a 2.5 t with triple mast side shift etc. Then the cost effect is the cost of a daily weekly or monthly rental.

If the unit is of special design like VNA/turret lifts or sideloaders or are equipped with specially attachments, etc. where rental units are harder to find or maybe impossible to find then the impact can be very significant.

So I guess it depends on the situation for each company.
