Take Advantage of the 2025 Section 179 Deduction with Hunter Truck

If you’re planning to add or upgrade equipment before the end of the year, Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code could help you save big. Designed to support small and midsize businesses, Section 179 allows companies to deduct up to $2.5 million of qualifying equipment purchases made in 2025 — all in the same tax year that the assets are placed in service.

For fleet owners, that means assets like new and used semi-trucks, shop tools, and diagnostic equipment can translate into an immediate reduction of taxable income, allowing you to reinvest those savings right back into your business.

What Qualifies?

Section 179 covers a a wide variety of assets so long as they are tangible, purchased (not leased on an operating lease), and used more than 50 percent for business during the tax year. This includes:

• Class 8 tractors, day cabs, and medium-duty trucks (new and new-to-you)
• Trailers and attachments
• Technology (both hardware and software upgrades)
• Facility improvements
• Shop and support equipment such as lifts, compressors, or diagnostic tools

The key is timing: the unit must be purchased, paid for, and placed in service (ready to work) by December 31, 2025.
