Should I buy my trucks and trailers outright or hire from a company such as Dawsongroup?

We believe that hiring your fleet offers more economic benefits in the long-term than purchasing truck and trailers outright, a decision that can have a significant positive impact on your business. Hiring your trucks and trailers from us gives you added agility and flexibility. Our hire options are tailored to your business needs, whether that is the short-term rental to manage seasonal peaks, or a long-term contract hire for prolonged use over several months and possibly years. We’ve got it covered.

During the hire period, we will service and maintain your vehicles. Your vehicle repairs, services, MOT’s, tyres and even your wiper blades are included. You’ll benefit from our 98% first-time MOT pass and 97% roadside first-time fix rates through our 1,100+ repair and service partners operating nationwide. This relieves the stress of fleet maintenance, allowing you to focus on your core operations.

Being a Dawsongroup customer also entitles you access to our Driver Training + programme, professional training sessions to help you and your drivers to get the most from your fleet. Sessions include tips on how to protect and maintain wellbeing and avoid driver fatigue.

A Smarter Asset Strategy offers security in an uncertain future, no matter what laws might be introduced. In October 2024, all HGV’s over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight driving into Greater London must be fitted with the Direct Vision Standard (DVS). We are ahead of the game and have recently added 75 DVS-ready DAF XD450 FTG 6×2 tractor units to our contract hire, lease, and rental fleet, ready for our customers to take advantage of.

Our team operate from 24 depots across the country and are here to help you get the most from your fleet, why not give us a call today on 0800 032 9766.
