For trucking s-corp to depreciate equipment, IRS requires trucking s-corp to be the owner of the equipment.

GPT Answer:

"I am not an accountant, but it seems that if the equipment is owned by a separate LLC, you may not be able to directly depreciate it against the income of the S-corp.

You might need to lease the equipment from the LLC to the S-corp, and then the S-corp could potentially deduct the lease payments as a business expense.

It would be best to consult with a tax professional or accountant to determine the best course of action for your specific situation."
