In the dynamic world of logistics, the need for transporting perishable goods with precision and care has never been more critical. The decision to lease or buy refrigerated trailers isn't always straightforward. Here are a few reasons why leasing is the right option for your business:

Cost Effective: Purchasing refrigerated trailers involves a significant upfront investment. On the other hand, leasing can provide a cost-effective alternative. Leasing allows you to access refrigerated trailers without the hefty upfront capital expenditure, freeing up your budget for other essential aspects of your operations with a better return on your investment dollars.

Flexible Fleet Size and Lease Terms: Business needs can change, and having a portion of your fleet of refrigerated trailers under lease allows you to maintain a newer fleet while also having an exit strategy on a portion of your equipment so that you can flex up or down each year based on the individual needs of your business. 

Maintenance Made Simple: Refrigerated trailers, like any machinery, require maintenance to operate at peak efficiency. By taking advantage of leasing with full maintenance, you can shift the costly responsibility of maintenance and repairs to PLM. This means you can concentrate on your core business activities, allowing the experts at PLM to ensure that your trailers are always in excellent condition. It's a hassle-free way to enjoy the benefits of temperature-controlled transportation without the additional burden of upkeep.
