Fun fact !!
Did you know? 🚛💨
Over 95% of trucking companies in America operate with 10 or fewer trucks!
When you see a semi rolling down the highway, chances are it’s driven by an independent owner-operator or a small local business keeping the gears of the economy turning. Small fleets really are the backbone of American logistics.

Is your EV battery storage putting your shop at risk—and spiking your insurance? 📋🚨
Insurance carriers across the automotive sector are cracking down hard on lithium-ion hazards. Storing loose Tesla packs or compromised modules inside your main facility is quickly becoming an audit red flag that can lead to jacked-up premiums or dropped coverage.
Standard shipping containers are built out of heavy-duty Corten steel, but they come with a wood subfloor. For high-voltage core storage, we can modify your container with a heavy-duty steel overlay floor to eliminate wood fire hazards and isolate thermal runaway events safely outside your main building.
At Route 40 Equipment Rental, we have your back:
Rent or Buy: Flexible rental options or direct purchases on new and used heavy-duty steel units.
Custom Modifications: Steel overlay flooring, custom solar vents, insulation, heavy-duty shelving, or spill containment—we modify units to match exactly what your shop needs.
Direct Facility Delivery: Delivered right to your lot on our own company equipment by our own quality, friendly drivers.
Questions for shop owners & yard managers:
Has your insurance rep audited your facility for lithium-ion or high-voltage storage recently?
Are you currently storing EV battery cores inside your main shop building or out in the open yard?
Drop your thoughts in the comments, or reach out today to get a containment setup delivered directly to your facility! 👇
