Section 179 truck write-off 2025 — If you’re a contractor, trucker, or business owner — this might be the best time in years to buy equipment.
That’s because there’s a government tax rule that lets you write off the full cost of trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment in the same year you buy it.
It’s part of what people call Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
And it’s real. We’re seeing customers save tens of thousands of dollars — even more — just by taking advantage of it.
💰 What Is the “Big Beautiful Bill”?
Back in 2017, a new tax law was passed that helped business owners write off big purchases — like trucks and machinery — all at once, instead of slowly over time. That law is still active, and it’s called Section 179 + Bonus Depreciation.
At the same time, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill was passed a few years later, pumping over $1.2 trillion into roads, bridges, water systems, internet, and other projects across the U.S.
That means:
-
A lot more work for contractors and companies
-
A lot more demand for trucks, trailers, and heavy machinery
-
A bigger reason to buy now and grow your business
✅ What Can You Write Off?
You can write off almost any business equipment — even if it’s used.
That includes:
-
✅ Dump trucks
-
✅ Water trucks
-
✅ Day cabs and sleepers
-
✅ Lowboys and tilt decks
-
✅ Utility trailers
-
✅ Excavators, dozers, loaders, and more
As long as it’s used for business and put in service before December 31, 2025, it qualifies.
🧮 How Much Can You Write Off?
This is where it gets good.
In 2025, you can:
-
Deduct up to $1,220,000 using Section 179
-
Then deduct 60% of anything above that using Bonus Depreciation
📌 Example:
Let’s say you buy $1.5 million worth of trucks, trailers, or equipment this year.
-
You write off $1,220,000 with Section 179
-
That leaves $280,000
-
You can then write off 60% of that ($168,000) with Bonus Depreciation
Total deduction: $1,388,000
💥 That’s a huge tax break for doing what you were going to do anyway — buying equipment for work.
🕒 What’s the Catch?
There’s really just one:
The truck, trailer, or machine must be delivered and in service before December 31, 2025.
So don’t wait until the last week of the year. Inventory goes fast. Get what you need now — and start putting it to work.
🧠 Why Are People Talking About This Now?
Because the infrastructure money is flowing, and a lot of contractors are finally landing the jobs they’ve been chasing for years.
That means demand is up. Prices are holding strong. And people who move early are getting the best deals — and the best tax savings.
