I needed some wood from HD and tried to rent a truck, it was a nightmare. At least at my local HD, they don't allow you to reserve. They only have 2 trucks, both of which are constantly busy. They won't even hold it while you grab the stuff you want to transport home, so you have to camp out or get there super early, rent it, and then let it sit while you do your shopping and check out. Agree with using u-haul if needed, but that's also normally quite a pain. We bought a truck recently, and it's been super nice to just hop in and go. Full disclosure, we bought one only because it'll be towing a track car 2x/month, and at that rate renting stops becoming at all attractive. |

It's meant for customers who need a truck but don't have one.
You fit that exactly so there's something I'm missing - are you buying those really long 2x4 - 4x4 or the like?
If so, a lot of people do that, so you need to stand out with the staff.
So this is what I do - buy a $11 big drywall and then tell them to call me when the truck's available.
It works every time. I have no clue why. I even use it to rent trucks for towing cars on a trailer bed.
The drywall will sell on CL like hot cakes once you're done with the truck but see my previous post.
