Considering leasing refrigerated trailers? Arctic Glacier, a leading North American producer of premium ice products and services, will tell you that leasing refrigerated trailers can save time and money compared to the upfront and upkeep costs of owning those trailers.
Today’s supply chain is challenging, to say the least. Any business that moves product from a warehouse to a customer can expect obstacles in between points A and B. Assuming product arrives to the warehouse on time as planned, storage could become a sticking point. You need — but don’t necessarily have room — to stay stocked. Meanwhile, warehouse space is costly, leases are inflexible and staffing is another story of its own.
What do you get when you combine supply chain issues, truck driver shortages and surging demand? An extremely challenging time to be in the business of transportation. In this environment, business leaders are constantly scrambling to secure the resources they need to meet customer expectations. Meanwhile, they must also keep an eye on costs as they steer toward business goals and objectives.
The transportation and logistics industry continues to feel the strain of securing more trailers and equipment. Supplies of dry vans are low and demand only continues to rise, which is why it is the perfect time to think creatively about options like flatbeds.
While it may seem like an inopportune time to sell any part of your fleet, used trailers are actually fetching prices that have never been seen.
The supply chain challenges brought on by Covid-19—and exacerbated by a number of factors since—have been putting businesses to the test for nearly two years. Creative solutions are helping many successful companies survive and thrive in this unprecedented era.
If you’re running a trucking company or working as an owner-operator, you know all too well that there are supply chain issues throughout the industry right now. Drivers and even basic equipment are in short supply while demand is soaring. Finding the right partner may be the only way to keep your business growing against these headwinds.
If you’re an owner/operator or fleet manager, you understand the importance of having the right equipment for the job.
The Mckinney team in Texas stayed safe as the storms raged through the state last week. Our offices in Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Laredo closed for most of the week as the roads were unsafe to drive, power outages, and some dealt with frozen pipes bursting. We are back at work and resuming normal activities this week in Texas. We are thankful for their perseverance.
Trailers continue to become more sophisticated. In 2021, we expect to see some exciting advancements in technologies that will make moving freight easier and more efficient.
