About XTRA Lease

You have many choices when it comes to transportation suppliers.  That's why we build solid customer relationships around something we call Streetcorner Strategy.  This strategy reminds us that while XTRA Lease is one of the largest trailer leasing companies in North America, our focus stays on each individual customer, at each branch location.

Why Contact XTRA Lease?

Three reasons:

1. You need a trailer on a short-term basis.  Perhaps it's your peak season.  Or you just landed a new customer.  Or the rest of your fleet is committed and you have an emergency load.  XTRA Lease is in "the emergency business" - we rent trailers.

2. You need to use your capital on something else besides trailers.  XTRA Lease provides a wide variety of rental and lease options tailored to your requirements.

3. You need to evaluate a new technology, like trailer tracking, before making a decision.  XTRA Lease's short-term rentals reduce the risk of trying out new specifications, equipment and technologies.
