Refrigeration trailer leasing and renting are both great options when you need a cold trailer. Depending on how long you need the trailer will sway you to either renting or leasing. While several states have enforced stay-at-home orders as the nation’s response to Coronavirus, the transportation industry has been deemed essential. Especially for trucking companies that deliver our medical supplies, groceries, cleaning and sanitizing supplies.
One may think empty grocery store shelves give the appearance that our country is running low on food. Truth be told, the food supply chain remains intact and has been ramping up to meet the unprecedented stockpiling brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. “Our stores are getting stocked every day,” says, Ron Vachris, chief operating officer of Costco, “Transportation is functioning, our suppliers are working around the clock and the flow of goods is strong.” The reason for the empty shelves are panic buyers. However we’re not here today to talk about panic-buying habits, rather we wrote this article to help you decide if your trucking company is ready to purchase a new reefer trailer or are refrigerated trailer rentals ideal for you, even during a world-wide pandemic.
This is why renting could be right for you
If any of these apply to you:
- You’re starting a new business
- This is a temporary replacement while your reefer trailer undergoes some repair
- You need to add a few extra refrigerated trailers to your fleet during a busy season
If you answered, ‘yes’ to any of the above and you don’t foresee needing the refrigerated trailer for more than a few months, then renting would likely be the best option for your business. Specifically during these times when the transportation industry is doing its best to keep up with the speed of the supply chain. With this grocery store frenzy as store shelves continue to empty out by panicky-buyers; grocery store distributors, dairy farms and meat producers continue delivering goods and produce to meet the surge by adding refrigerated trailer rentals to their fleet or hiring trucking companies with reefer trailers to make their deliveries.
