We're trailer pros, not tax pros. Consult your tax advisor.
What is Section 179?
Section 179 of the tax code lets many businesses deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the year it's put into service, instead of spreading it out over several years. Work trailers are equipment.
If your business buys a trailer, has it ready to work by December 31, and uses it more than half the time for business, it may qualify. For 2026, the deduction limit is $2,560,000, so most small businesses won't come close to the cap.

Finance it. Deduct it.
You don't need to pay cash to use Section 179. Financed equipment can qualify, and the deduction is generally based on the full purchase price, not what you've paid so far. Ask your accountant how that applies to you, then let our team help with financing.
Financing available with approved credit. Not all applicants will qualify.

Quick answers
Do trailers qualify for Section 179?
Work trailers used in a business are generally treated as equipment, which is the kind of property Section 179 covers. Your tax preparer confirms it for your situation.
Does a used trailer qualify?
It can, as long as it's new to your business and wasn't bought from a related party.
What if I finance it?
Financed equipment can qualify, and the deduction is generally based on the purchase price. Leases and rent-to-own can be treated differently, so ask your accountant.
What's the deadline?
The trailer generally needs to be placed in service, meaning ready and available for use in your business, by December 31, 2026. Ordered isn't enough. Our stores are closed Dec 25 and 26 and close at 1 PM on Dec 24, so plan ahead.
