Champion Trailer Solutions Owner, Michael Brown, was looking for ways to get into the transportation industry and found COOP by Ryder. The platform gave an investor like Michael a way to start with commercial vehicle rentals that he believed could be lucrative. It was the right time to buy fleet assets as businesses began to return back to normal operations in 2021.
Michael consulted one of a COOP’s Customer Success Managers to learn which assets could generate the most revenue for his business. With our platform, our technology, and our team’s expertise, he was confident that he had the right tools to rent out the vehicles that he planned to purchase. Additionally, he could leverage the platform on his schedule alongside his day job.
“Highly recommend [COOP] to anyone who is looking to get a foot in the door in the transportation industry, if you want to buy a vehicle or already have them,” said Michael Brown, Owner of Champion Trailer Solutions.
In March of 2021, Michael added Champion Trailer Solutions newly purchased 53’ dry vans with swing doors to take advantage of the unprecedented demand for trailers in 2021. The next day, the trailers he purchased were on the road with COOP and generating revenue.
Having his vehicles start earning for his business so quickly reinforced his commitment to the platform. After a little time to return on his initial investment he intends to grow his fleet even further. “Highly recommend [COOP] to anyone who is looking to get a foot in the door in the transportation industry, if you want to buy a vehicle or already have them,” Michael said.
