 Mike
Melia, Leader - Asset Management, answers:In today’s business environment having the right mix of quality trailers within your fleet is important to stay competitive. At times this may mean renting to keep up with seasonal demands, or selling off older trailers to make room for upgrades. Trailer Fleet Services can help you with both. And if you're like most companies, when you want to establish a longer-term fleet management solution, it makes sense to lease equipment rather than own or rent it. Leasing provides you with a disciplined, defined, cost effective cycle for trailer replenishment. After we help you sell your oldest trailers, you'll need to replace that equipment. If your operation demands only the best, newest equipment... you might be surprised to know that you can turn to GE's Trailer Fleet Services to meet your needs. We keep a supply of new trailers on the ground and available for immediate deployment. Take advantage of GE’s financial power and size, and let us provide you with new trailers AND a lease payment plan that meets the needs of your business. Currently, we are offering 2006 Great Dane trailers available for long-term leases... click here for more details |
