American Trailer Rental Group, a family of companies with a rental fleet approaching 16,000 units, expanded its Meisler Trailer Rental brand to the greater St. Louis market.

In connection with the expansion, Mike Burk joined Meisler Trailer Rental as general manager to lead efforts in St. Louis. Burk has more than 10 years of experience in the trailer space, most recently with Cooling Concepts, a refrigerated trailer leasing company.

“This important expansion continues our strategic objective to build a national footprint via greenfield developments and strategic acquisitions,” Jonathan Brooks, CEO of American Trailer Rental Group, said. “St. Louis is a natural fit for our next greenfield location given the substantial manufacturing and distribution presence there. Under Mike’s leadership, we stand ready to serve the storage, cartage and over-the-road trailer needs of our customers throughout the region.”

In addition to Meisler Trailer Rental, American Trailer Rental Group also includes First in Trailer Service, Fleet Trailer Rental, Advantage Trailer Rental and Arizona Storage Rentals brands. The group of companies covers Evansville, IN: Nashville, TN; Memphis, TN; Walton, KY; Louisville, KY: Cincinnati; Columbus, OH; Kansas City, KS; Dallas; Houston; Austin, TX; San Antonio; Longview, TX; Phoenix; Flagstaff, AZ; and Tucson, AZ.
