Who We Are
Testimonial
“Before Trend, we treated equipment like a sunk cost and kept extra chassis around just to stay flexible. Now we’re running leaner and getting more out of less. The dual-size chassis cut down mismatches, we’ve cleared out yard clutter, and we’re not wasting money on empty moves. It just works better—and costs less.“
