What caught me completely off-guard when I went to rent from the Depot was needing my insurance paperwork. Okay, that's out in my car's glovebox halfway across the parking lot, kindly serve another customer while I hike out there and get it... It's doubly weird because I rent cars from Enterprise and Budget all the time and they've never asked me for it. But anyway, once that was done with, yeah the 75-minute truck rental was just what the doctor ordered. I picked up a bunch of industrial auction items, dropped them at my friend's place and my place, and had the truck fueled and returned with several minutes to spare. Everything I've ever bought from HD itself, including 10' pieces of conduit and Unistrut, 8' pipe and lumber, numerous bags of cement and aggregate and mulch, has fit just fine in my Prius. I wouldn't mind owning a pickup for full sheets, but in practice everything I've made has tesselated just fine into 32x48 one-third-sheets so I just have 'em ripped on the panel saw in-store. |

That caught me off guard the one time I did this as well. However, it is a small lesson to learn compared to financing and insuring even a cheap truck such as an f-150 IMO.
