Trailer Leasing & Drop Trailer Program
At Pete’s Ultimate Movers, we understand what shippers like you value most—reliability, speed, transparency, and partnership. That’s why our team is committed to delivering more than just freight. We deliver peace of mind, every mile of the way.
Whether you’re moving full truckloads across the country or need consistent long-haul capacity, Pete’s Ultimate Movers is your go-to asset-backed trucking partner. Backed by over 15 years of transportation and logistics experience, we’ve redefined ourselves from a regional moving company to a full-service general freight and OTR trucking operation—with a sharp focus on timely, secure, and cost-effective delivery for shippers like you.
What Is a Drop Trailer Program?
A drop trailer program allows shippers or receivers to preload or unload freight at their convenience by keeping a trailer (or multiple trailers) staged at their facility. Instead of requiring a truck and driver to wait during the loading process, the trailer is “dropped” at the location for use over a scheduled period.
Once loaded, our driver returns to pick it up and haul it — without any interruption to your operations.
Why It Matters
Dock time is expensive. Delays hurt schedules. And rushed loading often leads to errors and damage.
By leveraging our drop trailer program, your business can:
- Reduce dock congestion
- Avoid detention fees
- Load during off-peak hours
- Prepare freight ahead of tight shipping windows
- Improve yard flow and warehouse operations
It’s about control, flexibility, and efficiency — all while keeping freight moving.
Trailer Leasing Options
We offer short-term and long-term trailer leasing for clients who need reliable storage or staging solutions without buying equipment. Whether you need one trailer for a week or multiple for a quarter, we’ve got the assets available.
Types of trailers available:
- 53’ Dry Van Trailers – Ideal for general freight, palletized goods, and staging loads.
- Reefer Trailers (upon request) – For temperature-sensitive freight requiring controlled storage.
- Live-Loaded or Preloaded Trailers – Ready to move when you are.
All trailers are well-maintained, DOT-compliant, sealed (if required), and clean.
Who Should Use This Service?
Drop trailer and leasing programs are ideal for:
- Warehouses with limited dock space
- Retailers with fixed delivery hours
- Fulfillment centers shipping multiple daily orders
- Manufacturers staging production-based shipments
- Shippers looking to preload after hours or overnight
- High-volume customers looking to simplify dispatch cycles
If your facility is constantly pressed for time, trailers, or labor — we solve that.
How It Works
Here’s how simple our Drop Trailer & Leasing Program is:
- Drop Request
We deliver an empty trailer (or multiple) to your facility based on your timing and trailer needs.
- Load at Your Pace
You or your team loads the freight when it’s convenient. Whether that takes 2 hours or 2 days, there’s no rush.
- Pickup & Haul
Once loaded, notify our team. We dispatch a tractor to retrieve the trailer and begin transit immediately.
- Repeat as Needed
Need another trailer? Need to keep one staged? We can rotate trailers as often as needed to keep your flow moving.
