The cost of lost equipment
Pooled equipment is hired, not owned
You pay a daily hire charge per unit for every day it's on your account, including units effectively lost or gone without paperwork.
That daily charge never stops. Not until the unit is returned, reconciled, or you pay the pooler's lost-equipment compensation for it.
You pay once, daily
Every unaccounted unit keeps accruing its daily hire charge, month after month, whether or not you still have it.
Then you pay again
Miss the paperwork and you eventually pay the pooler's compensation for the unit itself, on top of every day of hire already charged.
Paperwork is the way out
A correctly documented transfer moves the charge to where the equipment actually went. That's why documentation is the product.
How it adds up
One unit, one daily rate, watch it compound
Illustrative daily hire rates. The standard rate is the high end; large national accounts negotiate down, smaller accounts pay more, so we show a range per equipment type. Your rate also depends on the provider (CHEP/Loscam).
