4 Powerful Reasons Milestone is Your Best Choice for Trailer Leasing and Rental

The Milestone advantage: discover how our unique combination of diverse fleet, nationwide network, client-focused service and solution choices sets us apart

In the fast-paced world of logistics and transportation, selecting the right trailer leasing company is pivotal to optimizing operations and reducing costs. At Milestone, we don’t just lease and rent trailers – we deliver comprehensive solutions that are unmatched by the competition. Here are the four core reasons why Milestone outshines others in the industry.

1. A diverse fleet that meets every need

Unparalleled selection for maximum efficiency

At Milestone, our fleet consists of over 66,000 trailers, each designed to meet specific logistical challenges. Unlike competitors who offer limited options, our extensive selection includes everything from brand new OTR trailers for nationwide use to well-maintained fixed storage units. This diversity ensures that whether you need a trailer for light storage, heavy interstate haulage, or anything in between, you’ll find the perfect fit at Milestone.

Never settle for one-size-fits-all

The ideal trailer for any job is the one that provides the best value. Why pay more to lease an over-the-road trailer if your needs are limited to local cartage or storage? Even worse, imagine being forced to rely on an old, poorly maintained trailer for crucial nationwide transport. This is often the reality when your trailer leasing partner lacks variety and only provides one-size-fits-all solutions. No matter your specific needs, Milestone’s extensive and diverse fleet delivers the flexibility and value required to effectively meet your requirements.

Solutions beyond the highway

If you’re a retailer, manufacturer or any other company dealing with the sky-high cost of adding additional warehouse space, then consider the cost savings of our unique Storage Trailer Solutions. Instead of investing in costly permanent structures, our storage trailers offer a flexible, on-the-go warehouse that adapts to your changing business needs. This not only reduces overhead but also increases operational flexibility, making it an ideal choice for seasonal surges or temporary projects.

2. A growing nationwide network designed with you in mind

From coast to coast: Milestone’s strategic location advantage

Milestone’s network boasts over 30 branch locations spread across the nation’s busiest shipping corridors, ensuring that no matter where your business takes you, a Milestone branch is never too far away. This strategic placement minimizes transport times to and from your routes, directly reducing your costs and enhancing driver productivity.

Time-saving solutions: Milestone’s driver-centric facilities

Our branch locations are more than just pickup and drop-off points; they are fully equipped to handle fast, efficient transitions that respect your drivers’ time and maximize their hours of service. We understand that time is money in logistics, which is why our pickup and return procedures are designed for speed and simplicity. Our one-way leases and flexible pickup and delivery options further underscore our commitment to your convenience.

3. Ease of doing business: The Milestone Way

Personalized service that puts you first

Our team is the best and it shows! We prioritize personalized, local service delivered by industry experts who understand your unique needs. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is dedicated to crafting custom solutions tailored specifically to you. Forget about rigid policies and generic responses – our flexible lease and rental terms ensure a seamless experience. And we’re easier to deal with than the competition when it comes to issues such as invoicing, turn-in conditions and repairs. Unlike our competitors, we view every client as a partner, making us your trusted ally.

Innovative fleet management tools for enhanced control

4. Creative, flexible leases, rentals, sale-leaseback: the choice of solutions is yours!
