What is your billing cycle?
With Palmer Leasing, you’ll appreciate accurate billing by the full month – not every 4 weeks. Many of our competitors quote and bill on a four-week cycle resulting in a 13-month billing period. Every quote from Palmer Leasing is based on a full calendar month; not merely four weeks. All leases are billed by the calendar day.
Does Palmer charge sales tax?
Palmer Leasing does not charge its clients sales tax on trailer leases, under Missouri sales tax laws, trailer leasing companies have the option of :
Palmer Leasing, Inc. utilizes option A. Under option B, the sales tax liability continues for as long as the trailer is rented/leased and must be collected and paid on each rental/lease charge. In most cases, mileage charges are also taxed.
Most of our competitors have chosen to license their trailers outside of Missouri. As a result, option A. above is not available to them, and under most circumstances they must by law charge your company a sales tax on rental/leases. When you lease from Palmer Leasing, you do not pay the sales tax because we chose to pay the sales tax when the trailer was purchased and not pass the tax on to our clients. We think you will prefer our policy.I need specialized equipment I don't see listed in Equipment Availability. Where should I look?
Even when Palmer Leasing does not own a specific type of equipment we will endeavor to assist our clients in locating and obtaining the equipment you require.
Do you ever sell your equipment?
Yes, occasionally we sell some of our lease fleet, and other times we have clients ask us to assist them in buying or selling their used equipment. If you’re interested in purchasing used equipment, contact our office.
Do you offer long-term leases?
We offer a long-term lease option for clients who need equipment for an extended period of time. A long-term lease would constitute a minimum of 6 months. As the term increases – the rate decreases.
