What’s stopping you from getting the most out of your current assets and power? What’s cutting into your bottom line? Continual reassessment is the only way to ensure you address unnecessary expenses and inefficiencies in your business.

Smart trailer rental can help solve some of the problems that carriers are facing with  trailer manufacturing shortages and price hikes. With the proper smart tools in place, logistics companies can increase capacity or improve profitability through semi-trailer rental pools.

If you are looking for a way to make your company more agile and ready to face unknown challenges, then building a flexible trailer pool is the right move. The slowed trailer production times and increased prices have left many logistics companies scrambling to adapt.

Prices are rising, and some logistics companies want to increase capacity without purchasing new equipment. While rental and leasing haven’t always seemed like viable options, new technology makes trailer sharing increasingly appealing. An easy-to-use platform for flexible semi-trailer lease solutions makes it possible for brokers, shippers, and owner-operators to create agile trailer pools. Businesses can beat the capacity crisis and adjust on the fly by leasing excess trailers.

All good business owners and managers need to know what their day-to-day expenses are and how they impact their business's overall balance of profits and losses. Within the trucking industry, many contributing factors can influence these costs. Everything from the cost of negotiating semi-trailer leasing and semi-trailer lease to own terms to managing payroll and fleet maintenance expenses, there are many factors to consider. Managers, carriers, and brokers alike need to consider costs first and foremost when planning short- and long-term goals. 

The ongoing driver shortage has forced shippers back to the basics of figuring out new ways to source capacity. Missing drivers, shippers are asked to take a second look at the potential benefits of a semi-trailer lease agreement. 

As supply chain issues continue to roil the logistics industry, shippers must find new ways to optimize their internal transportation procurement processes. For many businesses, this means interrogating their freight asset management; leasing trailers from semi-trailer leasing companies can be a quick, simple solution to the ongoing capacity issues many businesses face.
