When it comes to investing in your business, timing matters. Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and trailers bought or financed during the tax year. Instead of spreading depreciation out over several years, you can write off the entire amount in the year of purchase — a major advantage for cash flow and tax savings.
At ILoca Services, we make it easy for you to take advantage of these benefits while adding high-quality trailers to your fleet.
What Is Section 179? https://www.section179.org/
Section 179 was designed to encourage businesses to reinvest in themselves. For 2025, here are the key numbers you need to know:
-
Section 179 Deduction Limit: $2,500,000
-
Phase‑out Threshold: $4,000,000 (
Deduction reduces dollar‑for‑dollar above this amount) -
Bonus Depreciation: 100% (available after Section 179 is applied)
-
Business Use Requirement: More than 50% business use
Why Section 179 Matters for Your Fleet
When you purchase qualifying trailers from ILoca, the tax advantages can be significant:
- Immediate Savings – Write off the full purchase price in the same year.
- Cash Flow Friendly – Put equipment to work today while lowering this year’s tax burden.
- Flexible Financing – Even financed trailers may qualify, allowing you to deduct the full amount now while paying over time.
Trailer Purchases That Qualify
Most new and used trailers qualify under Section 179, including:
- Dry Vans & Reefers – Keep your cargo safe and efficient.
- Flatbeds & Drop Decks – For versatile hauling needs.
- Heavy Haul & Specialized Equipment – Kalyn Siebert, Talbert, Fontaine Specialized, and more.
- Chassis & Containers – Durable solutions for intermodal transport.
If the equipment is used for business purposes more than 50% of the time, it may be eligible.
An Example of Section 179 in Action
Let’s say your company invests in $800,000 worth of trailers from ILoca in 2025.
- Deduct the full $800,000 immediately under Section 179.
- Reduce taxable income and save potentially hundreds of thousands in taxes.
- Improve fleet capability while lowering the real cost of ownership.
Act Before December 31, 2025
The Section 179 deduction is a use-it-or-lose-it tax benefit. To claim it for the 2025 tax year, trailers must be purchased and put into service before December 31.
