As the summer season intensifies, so does the pressure on transportation and logistics networks across the country. Freight volumes increase, roadside breakdowns spike in the heat, and new vehicle lead times remain long. These challenges are pushing businesses to find quick, reliable solutions—and for many, that solution is Aim’s rental trucks and trailers.

In today’s fast-moving and unpredictable economic environment, companies that rely on transportation face constant pressure to do more with less—less capital, less risk and less downtime. With inflation still weighing on operational costs, looming tariffs increasing the price of new equipment and skilled diesel technicians in short supply, more businesses are rethinking how they manage their fleets. One increasingly strategic choice? Full-service truck leasing.

Owning trucks outright may seem like a way to save money. That is until unexpected repair bills, compliance issues or idle assets start to eat away at a company’s bottom line. Full-service leasing shifts that risk to your leasing partner, like Aim Transportation Solutions. 

For three decades, Aim Transportation Solutions has supported Goodwill Youngstown as a full-service truck leasing customer, providing reliable commercial vehicles and fleet management services to help the nonprofit continue its impactful community mission across Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. To commemorate this momentous milestone, Aim hosted a special luncheon at Goodwill Youngstown’s Liberty headquarters on April 24 to celebrate the 30-year partnership between the two organizations.

With equipment prices at an all-time high and set to keep rising, many businesses are rethinking the cost of operating their own fleet. For companies looking to cut expenses without sacrificing reliability, Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) offers a smarter, more cost-effective solution.

Dedicated Contract Carriage is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but for many businesses, it offers a compelling answer to rising equipment costs and operational complexities.
