Rugged trailer rentals | Application Preview
Rugged Trailer Rentals is applying for government grants to cover initial costs related to starting and marketing the business, as well as purchasing tools and supplies for maintaining trailers at a higher standard than competitors. The business aims to offer a new level of trailer rental service, providing high-quality trailers stocked with necessary supplies and exceptional customer service.
The business plan includes expanding the fleet to include various trailer types, such as enclosed and dump trailers, based on community demand. The goal is to eventually hire a few people for maintenance tasks.
The owner emphasizes a strong personal motivation for success, sharing their journey from humble beginnings in Michigan to building a stable life in Louisiana. With a focus on community involvement, the owner aspires to create a business that not only supports their family but also contributes positively to the local area.
In terms of competition, major players like U-Haul, Home Depot, and AAA Rentals offer services at lower prices but lack certain key features. Rugged Trailer Rentals plans to differentiate itself by providing fully equipped trailers and exceptional customer support, including roadside assistance without extra fees. The commitment to maintaining equipment to minimize breakdowns further enhances its competitive edge.

Business Plan
My plan is to show the community a new level of trailer rental. Quality new trailers loaded with everything you could need. With customer survive like life long best friends. I want to expand to meet the demands of what the community needs. Buying more trailers, enclosed, dump, whatever the community calls for that i don’t have. I hope to have enough trailers to hire a few people to maintain these trailers. Investors should invest in me because I don’t have quit in me. I’m a small town boy from a poor michigan family. That has over come everything life has thrown at me, while learning! I moved to louisiana with hope’s of a job and 800 dollars in my pocket, 1 pot, 1 pan, few cloths and an air mattress. I built a family since then, bought a 2000 square foot house. I’ve grown from a 640 credit score to an 810. I want this business for my family. To teach my kids more than i ever got taught, and i don’t stop I’ll make it happen! I love my community and will be a bigger part of it.

Self Identified Competition
My biggest competitors are the big store company’s. U haul, Home Depot, AAA RENTALS. They can all absolutely do it cheaper than me. U haul try’s to have general use trailers and box trucks. Home Depot more or less has utility trailers. AAA has trailers as well. Geared toward equipment and still just trailers no supplies. My competitors can absolutely do it cheaper. But they all lack a few things, important things. Our trailers will come full of supplies to get the job done in one stop. It’s 3am and you need to go rescue that college kid in a town several hrs away, even several states away. We got you and no extra charge to go anywhere. Pull up we have everything in one stop. We hook you up to trailer and send you on your way. We will keep new equipment and maintenance it according to manufacturer specifications to keep breakdowns at a minimum.
