Company Profile

Milestone Equipment Corporation is a full service transportation equipment leasing and asset management company. We specialize in motor carrier and rail industry-related intermodal equipment including domestic containers, chassis, piggyback trailers and highway trailers. Founded in 1995, Milestone is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with fleet operations based in Chicago.

Milestone acquires intermodal fleets for our own portfolio and manages and leases equipment on behalf of institutional and private investors including banks, partnerships and other leasing companies.  Our overall fleet includes approximately 20,000 units in use throughout the US Intermodal rail network.

Our customers include Class One Railroads, Less-Than-Truckload Carriers, Intermodal Marketing Companies, private shippers, steamship operators, barge operators, and roll-on/roll-off shipping lines. The Milestone fleet allows all of these industry segments to maximize equipment utilization and transportation efficiency without the burden of owning their own equipment.

Our management services include the origination and administration of leases, arranging debt and equity financings, operating and maintaining equipment in daily rental service to monetize off lease equipment, and administrating the returns of equipment portfolios.
