I'm not familiar with XTRA or the trailer leasing business. Can you tell me about the industry?

Most would tell you the transportation business is fast paced and extremely service-oriented. Additionally, changes in supply chains and consumer buying patterns demand that trucking companies and private fleets stay flexible, yet operate very efficiently, since most run asset-intensive businesses. Trailer leasing companies, like XTRA Lease, often lead the transportation industry with innovations in equipment and technology.

Will I have to relocate to develop my career at XTRA Lease?

That depends on you and the profession you've chosen. If you start at an entry-level position in a branch, it's possible to advance while staying at the same location. However, if you've decided to seek senior management positions, then it may be necessary to relocate. Bottom line: when you turn in a strong performance, we work hard to make the best match for both of us.
