What happens at the end of an equipment lease shouldn’t be a last-minute decision. Lease end is an opportunity to look beyond the equipment and consider what makes sense for your fleet as a whole – including how those decisions fit into your overall fleet lifecycle strategy.

“Your fleet needs may look very different at the end of a lease than they did at the beginning, said Edward Robinson, Milestone Vice President Business Development. Planning ahead gives you more time to decide what makes sense for your operation.

In this latest issue for Equipment Leasing & Finance Association (ELFA), Eddie looks at lease-end planning from the finance side, and why starting those conversations earlier can create more options and better outcomes.

Extra trailers in your fleet? Turn them into working capital.

Milestone is purchasing well-maintained, 2020 or newer 53-foot dry vans directly from fleet owners.

“We can purchase out right with a fast turnaround or you can keep some and we can lease the trailers back to you until you are ready to replace them — helping you free up capital while keeping your fleet moving,” said Brent Russell, Milestone Chief Commercial Officer.

Have new or older trailers? We may be interested based on current fleet needs—or we may be able to connect you with customers who are ready to buy.

Heavy-duty truck operating costs hit a record high in 2025 – and the pressure isn’t easing. According to a recent ATRI analysis, FleetOwner reports increases across nearly every cost category, while 2026 data points to continued challenges as diesel prices surge.

“With costs rising across the board, fleets have to look closely at where their capital is going,” said Brent Russell, Milestone Chief Commercial Officer. “The right mix of owned, leased and rented equipment can help preserve capital, add flexibility and put resources where they deliver the most value.”

Retail demand changes fast. Your trailer capacity should be able to change with it.

Andy Chiarenzelli, Milestone VP of National Accounts, and his team help retailers plan for seasonal peaks, promotions, and changing consumer demand. Each of these shifts can affect how many trailers a retailer needs.

A flexible trailer strategy lets retailers add capacity when inventory rises and reduce it when demand falls. Depending on their needs, they can lease, rent, buy, or sell trailers — without taking on unnecessary long-term costs.
