Growing a dumpster rental, demolition, or waste management business means having the right equipment on the road. Roll-off trucks are the backbone of these operations, and at $80,000 to $200,000 or more per unit, they represent a significant capital investment. Crestmont Capital makes it simple to get the equipment you need without draining your cash reserves.
We offer equipment financing and equipment leasing for roll-off trucks and hook lift trucks, with approvals in as little as 2 to 4 hours and funding in 1 to 2 business days. Whether you are adding your first truck or expanding an existing fleet, we have a program that fits your business.
Purchasing a roll-off truck outright ties up capital that your business needs for day-to-day operations: fuel, driver wages, container maintenance, and customer acquisition. A single roll-off truck can cost anywhere from $80,000 to well over $200,000 new, and a full fleet build-out with containers can easily reach $500,000 to $2 million. That level of investment is difficult for most small and mid-size operators to absorb out of pocket.
Financing lets you put that truck to work immediately while spreading the cost over time, so your cash stays in your business where it belongs. You start generating revenue from the equipment on day one while your monthly payment comes out of those earnings.
Here is how the three main options compare:
| Option | Upfront Cost | Monthly Cash Flow | Tax Benefit | Ownership |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Purchase | Full price ($80K+) | Best after purchase | Depreciation deduction | Immediate, full |
| Equipment Financing | None (0% down available) | Fixed monthly payments | Depreciation + interest deduction | Own at end of term |
| Equipment Leasing | Minimal | Lower monthly payments | Payments may be fully deductible | Buyout option at end |
For most operators, financing or leasing makes far more sense than a cash purchase. You preserve working capital, maintain a predictable monthly expense, and can potentially deduct payments as a business expense. Emission regulations in many states are also tightening, meaning trucks purchased today may need to be replaced or upgraded within 5 to 10 years. Financing gives you the flexibility to manage that cycle without taking a large capital hit. Speak with your tax advisor about what structure works best for your situation.
With equipment financing through Crestmont Capital, you borrow the full cost of the truck and repay it over a fixed term. At the end of the term, the truck is yours. This is the most straightforward path to ownership and is ideal if you plan to run the truck for many years.
Key details:
Equipment leasing is a smart choice when you want lower monthly payments or when you anticipate upgrading to newer trucks every few years to stay compliant with emissions regulations. With a lease, Crestmont Capital retains ownership during the lease period, and you make regular payments. At the end of the lease, you can buy the truck at a predetermined price, renew the lease, or return it and upgrade.

Yes. We finance both new and used roll-off trucks and hook lift trucks from dealerships and private sellers. Age and condition of the equipment may affect terms.

With financing, you take ownership of the truck and make loan payments until the balance is paid off. With leasing, you make lower monthly payments and have the option to buy, return, or upgrade the truck at the end of the lease period. Leasing can be advantageous for tax purposes and for businesses that want flexibility to upgrade equipment regularly.
Yes. Containers can often be bundled into the same financing agreement as your roll-off truck. We also offer working capital loans that can cover containers and other operational costs separately.
