No, I'm asking whether the truck would be a money-making asset for them. Even a construction contractor or similar would fall into this category.

Truck in a business doesnt make money, it is a depreciating fixed asset.

So is machinery in an industrial company. The notion that a depreciating asset does not make money is pedantic and better left to classroom settings.
