How the service works
- 1
Describe the load and lane
Provide trailer type, cargo, required dimensions, pickup area, operating lanes and expected rental dates.
- 2
Review the unit and agreement
Confirm availability and specifications, inspect the written charges, and settle insurance and repair responsibilities.
- 3
Inspect and document pickup
Check the actual unit and record existing damage, equipment condition and required documents before accepting it.
Choose equipment for the shipment
Dry van, refrigerated and open-deck equipment serve different freight needs. Trailer dimensions, payload, floor condition, securement points and loading access must fit the shipment and operating limits.
For refrigerated freight, confirm the required temperature range, unit condition, operating instructions and any monitoring or service requirements. For open-deck work, identify securement, tarps and any permits separately.
- Actual trailer type, year, dimensions and identification
- Cargo compatibility and loading/unloading method
- Required accessories and who supplies them
- Pickup and return locations and operating-area restrictions
Read what maintenance includes
A maintained trailer does not mean every repair is free. Ask which routine work is covered, who authorizes repairs, what happens after a roadside failure and who bears tire, damage, misuse and recovery costs.
Document condition with the provider at pickup and return. The written agreement should identify any inspection, cleaning, fuel, late-return or damage charges.
Compare renting and buying on total cost
Keep the published $800/week starting price separate from a confirmed equipment quote. Ask about minimum term, deposits, insurance, taxes, delivery, mileage or usage limits and extensions.
Compare realistic utilization and total costs over the period you need the equipment. Purchase prices vary substantially by trailer type, age and condition, so a single generic purchase-price range is not a reliable comparison.
Trailer Rental Support FAQ
Scope, costs and questions to settle before you proceed.
How much is trailer rental?
Published pricing starts at $800/week. Request a current quote for the actual trailer, location, dates and term. Confirm deposits, insurance, taxes, delivery, return and other charges separately.
What trailer types are available?
Ask about dry van, reefer, flatbed and step-deck options for your location and dates. Availability must be confirmed; the featured illustration is conceptual and does not show current rental stock.
Is maintenance included?
Confirm the covered routine maintenance and exclusions in the rental agreement. Damage, tires, misuse, roadside recovery and unauthorized repairs may be treated differently. Obtain approval instructions before the trailer leaves the yard.
Can I rent for a month?
Discuss the required term and whether an available unit has weekly or monthly terms. Compare the total quote, minimum commitment and extension or early-return conditions.
Can I use dispatch support with a rental trailer?
Discuss your carrier and insurance arrangements, equipment specifications and lanes with the dispatch team. A rental alone does not establish authority, coverage or eligibility for a particular load.
