Navigating uncertain times: How Milestone can help your intermodal company thrive

These are uncertain times for intermodal companies. The good news is that shipping volumes remain robust. However, many fleet managers are still hesitant to commit to purchasing chassis or entering long-term leases, especially if they already have excess inventory or an unbalanced mix of chassis types in their fleets. Fortunately, Milestone is here to help you overcome these challenges with flexible and innovative solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Fuel your fleet’s future with flexible lease and rental terms
Gone are the days of mandatory long-term leases. Milestone understands that your needs can vary greatly, which is why we offer rent or lease terms to fit any requirement. Need a chassis for a quick, local haul? We have the perfect solution for you! Whether you need a daily rental, a short-term lease, a chassis pool rental, or a traditional long-term lease, we’ve got you covered.
Get ahead with our next-generation fleet

The average US marine chassis trailer fleet is running outdated, worn-out equipment. Not Milestone. We pride ourselves on offering the industry’s newest fleet of chassis, equipped with the most advanced safety features available. This not only ensures safety but also makes our chassis more reliable and much less expensive for customers to maintain. With Milestone, you’re getting the latest and best-equipped chassis on the road.

Get instant access to 34,000+ premium chassis!
Milestone boasts a vast selection of over 34,000 premium chassis, ready to meet any of your needs. From 23.5′ sliders to 40′ goosenecks and 20/40 combos, we have it all. We even offer specialty equipment such as tri-axle tridems and lightweight chassis. Unlike our competitors, we are continuously expanding our fleet, with hundreds of new chassis in production this year alone.

No matter where you need a chassis, Milestone is there. We have over 40 chassis depots as well as chassis pools strategically located near key ports and railheads across the country.
