Palmer Leasing Group Is Poised For Rental Growth And Expansion
Commercial truck rental has always been a part of the Palmer product line.
In 2018, the Palmer Group is taking commercial truck rental to a whole new level. Christy Smith, Director of Rental Sales for Palmer Leasing, is prepared along with her rental staff to take advantage of favorable market conditions and new Palmer Leasing locations.
Smith explains,
“With the expansion of the dealer group and new, national account opportunities through leasing and rental demand of the World’s best Kenworth trucks, we are well suited for expansion. Our rental staff at 10+ locations and leadership team has confidence in our ability to serve our customers. We look forward to a great 2018 in commercial rental and beyond.”
Smith reports the on-highway class 8 fleet growth is forecasted for 20% gain in 2018, which is a planned and conservative growth stemmed from demand increase. The Class 6 & 7 truck market is also growing at a rate of 15%.
In order to meet upcoming demand, Palmer has expanded PacLease locations in the group with a second Louisville location as well as locations in Bowling Green, KY and Fremont, IN. All of these locations offer the full breadth of quality, personalized solutions through Palmer Leasing.
Class 8 vocational rental trucks are also being deployed in select markets with heavy-dump and roll-off hoist truck configurations.
