No, crane trucks are not getting cheaper. As the cost of production rises, so do the cost of the crane trucks.
A crane certification cost about 200 dollars depending on the state. This is the cost on average, you can possibly get a discount based on what company you are with.
The cost for renting a crane at crane hire is the range of 4500-9000 dollars. Crane hire seems to have reasonable prices away from other competitors yet seem to gain the trust of the customer.

Normally it will cost about £5.00 but you would have to get in touch with a charity that will participate, they can cost more or less depending on size.
I would try the local community college depending on what area in Texas you are located. That way you can get the training that you need on a fraction of the cost.
It all depends on a couple factors. First How much does the object being lifted weight? How close can the crane get to the object? What is the radius going to be to place the object? How high does the object have to go? I would get this info together before you call a crane company. There are many different crane sizes and all have different pricing. I would expect to pay a four hour minimum or a daily rate. Travel time is usually in the rate. Ask for insurance cert and a copy of the operators CCO to be safe.
