About Vanguard
Flexible trailer solutions for trucking companies across America — built on trust, driven by service.
Our Story
Founded in 2022 in Poland, Ohio, Vanguard Trailer Leasing was built on a simple idea: every trucking company deserves access to quality equipment, regardless of their credit history. Too many hardworking owner-operators and small fleets were being turned away by traditional leasing companies. We saw an opportunity to change that.
From day one, Vanguard has focused on providing flexible-term trailer rentals that meet the real-world needs of trucking companies. We specialize in three core equipment types — dry vans, refrigerated trailers, and flatbeds — ensuring our customers always have the right trailer for the job.
What started as a small Ohio-based operation has grown into a nationwide service. Today, we proudly work with customers in all 50 states, from independent owner-operators hauling their first loads to established carriers managing growing fleets. No matter the size of your operation, Vanguard treats every customer like a partner.
What Sets Us Apart
At Vanguard, we understand that not every trucking company fits the mold of traditional financing. That’s why we’ve built our business around flexibility and accessibility. We work with companies that have limited or no credit history, providing them the equipment they need to build their business and establish a track record of success.
Our approach is straightforward: fair terms, reliable equipment, and personal service. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every customer gets a rental program tailored to their specific situation, timeline, and goals. When you call Vanguard, you talk to real people who understand the trucking industry and care about your success.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do.
Accessibility
We believe every trucking company deserves a fair shot. Limited credit shouldn’t mean limited options. We find ways to say yes.
Reliability
Our trailers are well-maintained and road-ready. When we make a commitment, we follow through — every time, no exceptions.
Partnership
We’re not just a vendor. We’re invested in your growth. Your success on the road is our success as a company.
Our Equipment
Vanguard specializes in three trailer types that cover the vast majority of freight hauling needs across the country:
Dry Vans
The workhorse of the trucking industry. Our dry vans are ideal for general freight, consumer goods, and everything in between.
Refrigerated
Temperature-controlled trailers for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and any cargo that requires climate management.
Flatbeds
Open-deck trailers for oversized loads, building materials, machinery, and cargo that requires crane or forklift loading.
