The point is to keep the trailer for the convenience/cost-savings of high value loads.
Anyone claiming that some of these little trailers are up to landscaping or roof tear-offs seems not to have done them. Jobs where the estimates are by the cubic yard. That would be with any single-family non-attached house.
Does U-Haul rent dump trailers? No. Do they rent large open trailers? No? Why, because the uses to which they are put tear the hell out of them.
In the world of big trucks, gravel-hauling, rock-hauling, etc is considered bottom-feeder. No money. Tears hell out of the equipment; tractors on their very last legs, etc.
Rent the HD trucklet for the container gardening delivery (bags), and hire a dumpster for roof tear-off.
This is only about convenience . . dollar savings against delivery is not plotted against true cost of ownership. The payload convenience of a pickup is high, and while the price with car and suitable trailer is better, it is far from free (as most folks will not consider the maintenance costs of their vehicle are now far higher. Overheat that trans fluid once and elect not to change it . . . . etc)
Car + trailer is a better solution over a pickup, but it is still within a limited range.
