Trailer lease location

Try Penske or ryder. My friend got a full waranty with new belts and everything on the trailer for good money. I'd go with a Swing for a forklifts has no obstacles when going in and out.

While I am fairly new to some of this stuff I have been successfully renting/leasing (what-have-you) trailers from Ryder and Penske for many years. Both companies offer full service lease programs and I'm positive that they would be more than happy to talk to you about them. I'm even more positive that they have locations in your area.

Ryder typically has one person who handles all of the "contract sales" (leases, PM contracts, etc) in a given district/region depending on the market. Call the local branch and tell them that you want to get in touch with the person who handles the lease quotes/contracts.

If you don't want a new trailer, Penske and Ryder also both offered used/off lease trailers for sale. Due to the current market conditions, now might be a good time to get a heck of a deal on a used trailer. You can also search for used trailers on the web at sites like truckpaper.com.

Beyond Ryder and Penske there is Xtra Lease and TIP (GE...is it still owned by GE??). Or, you could always call the trailer manufacturers and ask them who they work their financing programs with.

Hope some of this helps!

Swing Doors.

 

Here are my thoughts on doors, but again...I haven't been doing this sort of thing for too long.

I have spec'd swing doors on my trailers. Swing doors remove obstructions from the interior of the rear frame. I can't tell you how many times I've seen some fool in my line of work load a trailer with a roll-up door in a way that when you try to close the door it won't close! Even better...you load the trailer and get the door closed only to have the load shift during transit making it impossible to open the door to unload! Luckily the few times I have seen this happen there has been a side door in which entry was gained. On the downside, swing doors make the trailer a little wider and might be a problem if you are in some super tight spaces. There are spaces I do projects at where there truly is only a inch of clearance on each side of the trailer doors while open when its in the dock! I'm at lots of tight, downtown type buildings.

Swing doors are stronger than roll-up and also give a much better seal, especially if they have four lock rods. This also makes them much more theft resistant, especially if you actually put locks on each rod! Stainless steel...even stronger!

Now, there are certainly times when roll-up is appropriate. If I understand correctly, (I've been told this by a driver) Wal-Mart only buys trailers with roll-up doors, their reasoning is that it is easier for drivers to drop trailers at a dock and leave with another one...they don't have to stop, get out, and open or close the swing doors before they back or drive away. It saves time and decreases the chance of injury getting in and out of the truck. It all makes a big difference over the life of a trailer. Better efficiency adds up quickly! UPS, FedEx, and all the other LTL guys use roll-up too, much easier when your trailers are pulling in and out of docks as much as those guys are.

Just some thoughts from a newbie!

 

DO you know how much cost lease or rent dry van trailer ?
