Milestone Trailer Leasing

What We Do: Trailer Leasing Services with a Personal Touch

Milestone provides personalized service in trailer leasing and rentals to our customers – every day, all year long. We are committed to supporting our clients in the form of open-architected arrangements, flexible options and added-value services.

We have a complete range of equipment to fit any application including factory direct new 2017s, mid-range model years for economical over-the-road use, and well-maintained older units for cartage and storage use. In addition, we have a large quantity of 53’ air ride trailers that are 2012s-2013s available for rental and lease at competitive rates.

Our Trailer Leasing services include:

RENTAL

For short-term needs, seasonal/peak demands, rental may best suit your needs. With no minimum term, this selection will allow you to utilize the equipment in new lanes or pools as you determine the long-term need. In addition, our rentals are billed on 12 calendar months, not 4-week cycles, which results in 13 bills over the course of a year from some leasing companies. We provide competitive priced equipment for storage, cartage and over-the-road needs.

LEASING

Entering into a lease is the most cost-effective way to supply steady business pools and lanes. This allows for competitive monthly rate, not subject to rate increases during the lease term, and ensures you have the right asset when you need it. As a lease customer, you also gain priority status if and when you need to rent trailers on a temporary basis.

BUYING/SELLING

Looking to buy trailers? Give us a call for current inventory. Looking to sell trailers? Give us a call with your current inventory. As an example of our capabilities, we may be able to arrange a purchase of your fleet, then lease it back to you until you either purchase or lease replacement trailers, or arrive at the end of their utility in your operation. We have both the resources and the creativity to consider solving any problem you may have with respect to trailers.

TRACKING SERVICES

Milestone partners with a variety of satellite tracking (GPS) services to provide the platform that best suits your needs, meaning you do not have to accept whatever system we happen to be offering. Tracking is available on both rental and lease equipment. We take care to ensure the customers can access the internet portal to provide accessibility to tracking. There is no additional fee for tracking, it is included in your monthly rental or lease rate.

Giving Is the Reason for the Season

In the spirit of giving back, Milestone Intermodal has recently donated a 53-foot steel container to the Keller Central High School Band in Keller, Texas to help students keep their equipment and props safe and secure, season after season.

“We have been talking about how to reach out and support our communities and for me, both personally and as a senior manager at Milestone, this is exactly what we need to do and where we need to give back,” says Amy Genobles, President of Milestone Intermodal.

Milestone worked in partnership with Kevin Smith of Equipment Management Services in Houston, which donated the cost of delivery of the 53-foot steel container. “It’s a really great feeling to work with vendor partners and have the opportunity to help the community,” says Genobles. “This is bringing it full circle.”

Looking for a solution to their storage situation, Keller Central High School’s Band Booster Association estimated program costs of $1,800 to $3,500 for off-site storage container options for students’ equipment and props.

“[Milestone’s] generosity allows us to use the money we would have spent replacing damaged equipment or paying the cost of other storage options and allows us to invest more in the training, education and needs of our students,” says Gina C. Root, Keller Central High School Band Booster Association Vice President.

It was a wonderful reminder of the power of paying it forward. “The overall satisfaction for us was the response we received from the high school,” says Genobles. “It was overwhelming. It really made me feel proud to be a part of Milestone. We look forward to future opportunities to support not-for-profit organizations locally and nationwide.”

The donated container is currently being converted for use as a storage unit. The finished product and photos to come!
