OUR PROMISE
Premier. Driven by Integrity.
in·teg·ri·ty
/in'teɡrədē/noun
“the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change”
We take pride in treating everyone with respect, no matter what side of the counter they’re on. It’s about doing what’s right and going the extra mile. As we grow, our promise as an organization remains steadfast: to raise the bar on trailer leasing with integrity and heart.
We’ve been on the road since 2005.
Premier was founded in 2005 with a vision to transform the trailer rental and leasing industry. Since the early days, the team has held a steadfast commitment to delivering comprehensive trailer solutions with optimal flexibility and customization from pick up to return, and everywhere in between.
Over the years, we've expanded our network.
Today, Premier has made a name for itself nationwide. We currently operate in over 40 locations and we're still growing strong. With a fleet of more than 60,000 dry-vans, reefers, flatbeds, chassis, and more, we're proud to serve the needs of our customers today and help them scale for the future.
Our success is fueled by a culture of CARE.
Our achievements are only possible through the close collaboration of the Premier team and our partners. Our culture of CARE fosters a deep connection and a spirit of excellence. It's with this renewed sense of purpose that we're driven to see every Premier customer succeed. To date, our team is over 230 members strong and growing. And we're just getting started.
CUSTOMER SUCCESS
See what our customers are saying:
Premier offers a broad range of trailers, which is huge for us. Having the availability of reefers, flatbeds, cartage trailers, and new dry vans is critical for us. The trailer tracking that they provide us enables us to know exactly where the trailers are and whether or not they're loaded at any given time. Clearly, that saves us a significant amount of empty miles and deadhead.
Mark Reed - President @ REEDTMS Logistics
You guys are great!!! We love our account rep and we hope the company doesn't change its position and strategy when it comes to support and relationships.
Alex Nedeltchev @ VL Trucking
Fast and easy check-in and check out times. I personally think premier has the best trailers around. Their equipment is always new and clean. The trailer that I recently rented had brand new Continental tires. Which was a plus for me.
Mario Waters
Not only does Premier offer quality equipment and competitive pricing, but the type of customer service they provide is uncommon these days. It is a reason we decide to engage with Premier.
