vHub is reengineering how truckers use and share their assets by offering smart trailer rental. The rental was once a sluggish, tedious, and inconvenient process.
1. What is Smart Trailer Rental?
Technology is changing the way we do business. Just two
decades ago, people weren’t using GPS maps to set their
routes, and few people (aside from large companies) accepted
credit cards. In the early 2000s, your phone wasn’t “smart”
and could not send a text—it didn’t get emails, let you browse
the weather forecast, or make bank transfers. New technology
is changing daily business by giving us access to convenient
and valuable tools.
2. It used to be that if you
wanted to rent a trailer, you’d
need to visit a rental yard
during the times they were
open, fill out a lot of
paperwork, and meet their
requirements for drop-off.s!).
Benefits of Smart Trailer Rental
3. Increased Agility
Trailer rental makes it possible to take on
additional trailers and increase capacity without
the investment of an upfront purchase.
Faster Turnaround
Some companies use trailer pools to avoid
detention and speed up loading/unloading.
4. Reduced Deadheading
Drivers don’t want to pick up one-way routes
with no return option. If a new trailer needs to
be moved from the manufacturer to the asset
owner, it can be listed as a load-out option.
Flexible Schedules
Smart trailer rental connects asset owners of
all sizes to renters-whether you are an owner-
operator with an extra dry van on hand or a
rental company with several assets available.
5. How to Share Trailers with vHub
vHub helps renters consider the best options that fit within
their route, budget, and timeline. Plus, vHub keeps all your
important paperwork in one convenient place. When it’s time
to close the deal, vHub automatically handles billing, and the
payment is processed electronically. We help streamline and
enforce the process so you can stay focused on the other
aspects of your business.
