Laravel post route with url parameters

Question

I'm facing a big wall of larval routing and I can't seem to find a solution

I have this form in a view template

<form url="/request/{{$equipment->url}}" method="POST">
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <div class="mt10">Start Date:</div>
                            <input type="date" required name="starting_date" value="" placeholder="From" class="request-input request-date mb10">
                        </div>
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <div class="mt10">End Date:</div>
                            <input type="date" required name="ending_date" value="" placeholder="To" class="request-input request-date mb10">
                        </div>
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <div class="mt10">Quantity</div>
                            <input type="number" required name="quantity" value="" placeholder="Quantity" class="request-input mb10">
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <div class="mt10">Voltage</div>
                            <input type="number" required name="voltage" value="" placeholder="Voltage" class="request-input mb10">
                        </div>
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <div class="mt10">Param 1</div>
                            <input type="text" required name="param_1" value="" placeholder="Parameter" class="request-input mb10">
                        </div>
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <div class="mt10">Param 2</div>
                            <input type="text" required name="param_2" value="" placeholder="Parameter" class="request-input mb10">
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-sm-12">
                            <button class="btn btn-block button-orange">Get quotes now</button>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </form> 

and this is the corresponding routes

Route::group([ 'middleware' => 'rental'], function(){
 Route::get('/my-requests/{readby_url}', 'PagesController@requests');
 Route::post('/request/{equipment_url}', 'PagesController@request');
 Route::post('/request/create', 'RequestsController@create');
 Route::post('/request/accept', 'RequestsController@accept');
});

My issue is with Route::post('/request/{equipment_url}', 'PagesController@request'); as it seems to not accept url parameters when the method is set to post.

i.e it throws the error

MethodNotAllowedHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 201:
in RouteCollection.php line 201
at RouteCollection->methodNotAllowed(array('GET', 'HEAD')) in RouteCollection.php line 188
at RouteCollection->getRouteForMethods(object(Request), array('GET', 'HEAD')) in RouteCollection.php line 140
at RouteCollection->match(object(Request)) in Router.php line 746
at Router->findRoute(object(Request)) in Router.php line 655
at Router->dispatchToRoute(object(Request)) in Router.php line 631
at Router->dispatch(object(Request)) in Kernel.php line 237

I want to pass a parameter and post data at the same time.

Is there a way to make this work? I've been told that Route::post handles GET as well but it doesn't seem to work.

The problem has nothing to do with Laravel

<form url="/request/{{$equipment->url}}" method="POST">

replace url with action

<form action="/request/{{$equipment->url}}" method="POST">
