Staying ready for the next mile means investing in what’s ahead.

With new capex investments and late-model asset purchases, Milestone is expanding access to newer dry vans and flatbeds nationwide – helping you cut maintenance costs and reduce downtime.

“As operating costs continue to rise, our newer-vintage equipment is available through flexible lease and rental options to help lower expenses,” said Andy Chiarenzelli, VP of National Accounts at Milestone. “We can also purchase your newer equipment and lease it back to you – unlocking capital in your fleet while you keep running those assets.”

Service is more than one of our FIRST principles – it’s something we live by. Supporting veterans in our own community is just one way we bring that to life alongside organizations like Veterans Community Project of St. Louis (VCP) who are making a real difference every day.

Milestone recently donated a storage trailer to the VCP tiny home community in St. Louis. With limited space in each home, additional storage is essential. This trailer now provides more than 4,000 cubic feet of secure space supporting 50 homes.

“Supporting VCP is one way we live out our commitment to the communities we serve, helping provide the services veterans need on their path to permanent housing,” said Julie Mottershead, Chief Human Resources Officer at Milestone.

VCP is changing lives and we’re proud to support that mission. Learn more about their impact: vcp.org
