Transport Enterprise Leasing (TEL), a provider of commercial truck and trailer leasing, sales and remarketing based in Chattanooga, TN, will expand its semi-trailer leasing services beyond its headquarters region in the Southeast, adding staff and a new location in Indiana to serve customers in the Midwest, with expansion into Texas and the Southwest to follow.
TEL recruited Brandon Lairsen as vice president of trailer leasing to lead the effort by scaling the company’s trailer leasing division and overseeing the people, processes, strategy, sales and infrastructure involved with the expansion.
“At a time when trailers are hard to come by, we have access to large quantities from the factory, including trailers from Hyundai, Wabash and other brands. We also provide like-new equipment off lease,” Lairsen said, noting that the company’s available trailers range from dry vans and refrigerated trailers to flatbeds.
“Brandon has more than 20 years’ experience in trailer leasing, sales development and go-to-market strategy,” Sheri Aaberg, COO of TEL, said. “He is perfectly equipped to lead TEL’s trailer leasing expansion and fits in well with our customer commitment and friendly corporate culture.”
